How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take?

Published On: 24 January, 2022

An uncontested divorce is when you and your spouse agree to everything. At Right Lawyers, we call this a simple divorce.

It takes about three to four days for our office to draft the documents and send them to you for review. Once you receive them, we’ll make any necessary changes. After that, the documents are presented to your spouse, either by us or by you. There may be some additional changes, which could take another three to four days.

Once you both agree, the documents are signed and filed with the court. From there, the court typically takes two to three weeks to review and approve the documents. A judge will sign off on the divorce, making it final.

In total, an uncontested divorce usually takes about seven days to draft, finalize, and sign the documents, followed by an additional two to three weeks for court review and approval.

Finalize your uncontested divorce in just a few weeks. Call (702) 914-0400 today and let Right Lawyers handle everything – simple, quick, and stress-free!
