The final decree of divorce will also specify who will pay what debts and court costs. Once it is signed by the judge, you are officially divorced and can move on with your life.
After the document is completed you will still need to file divorce papers such as a complaint and follow court procedures regarding service or waiver of service. There may still be a hearing on the agreement before the judge.
Uncontested divorces move the fastest. These divorces can take between a few days and a few weeks for a judge to review and sign the decree. It will take longer if your divorce requires a trial or additional hearings. Contested divorces can take several months (or even over a year) to finalize.
An answer to a divorce petition must be filed within a certain timeframe. If you are served in person or by certified mail, you need to submit your answer by 10:00 a.m. on the Monday after 20 days have gone by since you were served with papers.
