Divorce QUESTION:
My wife has filed for divorce. When I hire my attorney what paper work should I present him or can he just contact my wife’s attorney?
She has most likely already provided the paper work. I would also like to know how long does it usually take for an amicable divorce to go through?
Divorce Attorney Kenneth White’s ANSWER:
A divorce can be finalize in a swift manner as soon as a settlement in confirmed. 99% of all divorces are resolved by settlement, the only question is whether it happens immediately or with the passage of months. Once a settlement is confirmed (provided a Complaint and responsive pleading has been filed) the court can be notified by one party’s attorney that there is a settlement, and the court will generally get you in as quick as possible to finalize the divorce, as the Judges are happy to get your case off their docket.
