Uncontested Divorce FAQ

How long does a New York State uncontested divorce take?

Most cases finalize in 6–12 weeks after correct filing and any required waiting periods. However, timelines vary by county and court volume.

Do I need my spouse’s signature?

No. With proper service and a default after the waiting period, you can proceed. See our one-signature divorce option.

Do I need my spouse’s physical address?

Yes. Courts require a physical service address (not a P.O. Box). If so, if you can’t locate your spouse, additional procedures may apply.

Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce in New York?

No. Many file pro se. We prepare documents for NYC and statewide filings and provide step-by-step instructions. Keep in mind we are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice.

What are the New York residency requirements?

At least one spouse must meet New York’s residency rules (one or two years depending on factors such as marriage in NY or grounds occurring in NY).

How much are New York court filing fees?

Typical fees total $210 + $125. Optional services (messenger, certified copies) are additional.

Can we include custody, visitation, support, and property terms?

Yes. We prepare custody/visitation/support forms and property terms (often via a Stipulation of Settlement) based on your instructions.
