COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT DIVORCE |

DO I NEED AN ATTORNEY TO GET DIVORCED? |

HOW TO START THE DIVORCE PROCESS? |
|
A complaint must be filed with the County Court where you are a resident (Included in our Divorce Kits). A copy of the complaint must be served to the other Spouse. |
|
HOW LONG IS THE DIVORCE PROCESS? |
|
If both Spouses agree on all aspects of the divorce it can be completed in as fast as 6 months. Although, the average divorce takes 12 to 18 months. |
|
WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEPARATION AND DIVORCE? |
|
The main difference between separation and divorce is that under a marital separation the mutual rights and obligations to one another become regulated depending on which State you may reside. The benefit to separation is that if the Spouse dies the other automatically will receive any and all of the inheritance.
After a divorce has been finalized the Spouses no longer have any rights or obligations to one another besides any child support or alimony payments may or may not have to be paid. |
