Frequently Asked Questions

Can anyone get a No-Fault Divorce?
NO. One party must be a resident of Pennsylvania for 6 months in order for us to handle your case. This process is best when both Wife and Husband will cooperate and sign forms.

What if my spouse will not sign divorce papers?
You must be separated for more than 2 years in order to do a Pennsylvania Divorce without your spouses signature. If your spouse can be served and he/she does not respond, you may be able to get your divorce without signature. Even after 2 years, your spouse could contest the case. No divorce is automatic.

When is a No-Fault Divorce NOT appropriate?
In general, if there are property or economic issues that cannot be resolved, a No-Fault Pennsylvania Divorce is NOT appropriate. A marital home or pension can sometimes complicate a divorce. You must contact an attorney to discuss these issues before deciding on a No-Fault Pennsylvania Divorce.

How long does a No-Fault Pennsylvania Divorce take?
Your separation length will help determine the divorce length. Pennsylvania No-Fault Divorces are filed as more than 2 year separation or less than 2 year separation cases. For greater than 2 year separation cases, the Pennsylvania Divorce generally takes between 2-3 months. If you do not have at least 2 years of separation, the case generally takes around 4 months.

Will I get a final divorce paper?
Yes. The plaintiff always receives a certified final divorce decree upon completion of the Pennsylvania Divorce. The defendant will receive a photocopy of the final divorce decree, but could pay a small extra fee to also receive a certified divorce decree. You should save your final divorce decree for future reference.

How do I start my case?
