It would not be advisable to file for divorce yourself.  If there are no children or assets to battle over, you can hire an attorney to file the petition in family court for you at very little cost.  In Texas, divorces can be contested, but in most cases, are not denied.  The complications begin when there are assets to dive and custody issues.  If these issues exist, and your spouse is agreeable, you can contact an attorney to draft a decree and file it in family court.  Your spouse can sign a waiver of appearence and your divorce can be finalizad in 45-60 days.\n\nGood luck to you and sorry to hear things aren't working.\n\nTake care.

It all depends on the judge.  In California, for instance, judges have up to 90 days to issue a ruling.  I know some judges that will issue a ruling immediately.  Meanwhile, I know one judge in particular who will almomst always wait until the 90th day to give you a ruling.  It's infuriating but there isn't much you can do about it.  Judges have a tremendous amount of autonomy.  Once the case is submitted to him/her for ruling, all you can do is hurry up and wait.

It varies depending on the state and county. You can call a lawyer and have a free 30 minute consultation in most towns, though.

you can't\nmost states are  no fault, and the only way to contest them would be for money and child support / custody, but once papers are filed, the dissolution of marriage ( as it's known in legal terms ) will be granted, it might take longer if it's contested, but eventually who ever filed will get the judgment and you cannot stop it. He also does not have to give a reason ( hence the term no fault ).\n\nNew York Has A Version of No-Fault Divorce\n\nNew York does not have no-fault divorce as such. Instead, New York's version of a no-fault divorce requires that the spouses live apart from one another for at least a year before a divorce can be filed. The parties must execute a Separation Agreement, which must be filed with the local County Clerk before the one-year period begins to run. The spouse suing for divorce must prove that he or she has substantially performed the terms of the Separation Agreement to obtain a divorce. If you obtain a divorce based on a written Separation Agreement, you don't have to sign any papers or give any testimony about reasons for the divorce. In other words, no personal allegations against either spouse are necessary. There are other grounds for divorce in New York which are explained below.\n\nThere are several steps that must be completed before you can file for a divorce in New York State.\n\nResidency Requirements\n\nFirst, you must satisfy the residency requirements set forth in Domestic Relations Law §230. To file for a divorce in New York you must satisfy one of the following residency requirements:\n\n1)The marriage ceremony was performed in New York State and either spouse was a resident of the state at the time of the commencement of the action and resided continuously in this state for one year immediately before the action began;\n\nOR\n\n2)The couple lived as husband and wife in this state and either one is a resident thereof and resided in this state for a continuous period of one year immediately prior to the commencement of the action;\n\nOR\n\n3)The grounds for divorce occurred in this state and either party is a resident thereof and lived in this state for a continuous period of one year prior to commencement of the action;\n\nOR\n\n4)The grounds for divorce occurred in this state and both parties are New York residents at the time the action is commenced;\n\nOR\n\n5)If you and your spouse were married outside of New York and you never lived together as husband and wife in this state and the grounds for divorce did not occur in this state -- either you or your spouse must presently be a resident of New York State and have resided continuously in the state for at least two years prior to bringing this case.\n\n\nServing the Summons and Complaint\n\nSecond, you must ensure that the court has jurisdiction over your spouse (the Defendant) by arranging for him or her to be served with a Summons and Complaint or a Summons With Notice.\n\nStep 1: Your divorce action begins when you purchase an index number and file the summons with the County Clerk’s office.\n\nStep 2: Your spouse must then be served with a copy of the summons by being personally given the document. It is important to determine where your spouse is located. If he or she lives in New York State, the server must be a resident of New York State, over eighteen years of age, and CANNOT be a party to the action (this means you may not serve your spouse with the summons).\n\nIf your spouse is presently residing outside of New York State you must still ensure that he or she is personally served with the summons. It is preferable to have this service accomplished by a New York resident, although this might be costly. If you use a non-New York State resident to serve your spouse outside of the State, the server must be a qualified attorney, solicitor or the equivalent in that state or nation. Otherwise the person must be authorized to serve papers pursuant to the laws of that state.\n\n \n\nThe person

It depends on a number of different factors.  The discovery phase of a civil case can take years to complete sometimes, especially if the opposing attorney is not very cooperative.  If the complaint was filed in August and there is no chance of a settlement, you be looking at 2,3, maybe 4 years before it goes to trial.

Your best bet is to talk to an Atty. I also think there is a default time limit to contest the divorce. An atty. can give you better direction then I could.

New Jersey has very specific laws.  \n\nIf you are even one day late with the rent, the landlord can file for eviction based upon non-payment.  A grace period is the period before you are charged a late fee and has nothing to do with the day your rent is due.  If you rent is due on the 1st and they don't have it by midnite, they can file the summons & complaint at 9:00 am on the 2nd.  There is no "30 days" or whatever in New Jersey.  Filing for non-payment requires no prior notice unless your landlord put it in your lease that they would give you notice.\n\nIf you don't have a lease, your landlord cannot charge you late fees or legal fees. \n\nIf you live in a rent controlled unit, most towns have limits on the late fee that can be charged.  Other than that, the late fee is subject to a reasonableness test that varies from county to county.  Usually it runs around 10%.\n\nIf you do have a lease that lists late fees and attorney fees as "additional rent" you will have the fees taken out of your deposit if you don't pay.\n\nBut the really good news is that in New Jersey, landlords are limited to "reasonable" actual attorney fees ... and $500 is laughable since you didn't even make it to the court appearance stage.  \n\nThe filing fee on a non-payment case in New Jersey is anywhere from $27 to $32, depending on what county you are in.  To do the actual paperwork involved in filing a non-payment complaint, the going rate for an attorney in New Jersey is anywhere from  $75 to $200.  The complaint would have been statutorily dismissed when you paid the rent, so there would be no court appearance fee.\n\nLook at the summons & complaint you received.  It should have the name of the attorney or firm that prepared and filed it.  If you didn't get a summons & complaint then your landlord is lying about having filed because there is no way to stop the process once it is started.  If he tries to tell you that he or they called the court and "told them not to serve you because you paid" then he is lying.  You would have been served anyway, and the notice of dismissal would have been sent to the court separately.\n\nIf you were served a summons & complaint but it wasn't prepared by AND signed by an attorney, then your landlord is lying.  Make sure an attorney signed it, and that your landlord just didn't do it himself and insert the name of a lawyer or firm.\n\nYour landlord had every right to file (assuming he actually did), but he can't pull numbers out of his butt.  If he filed himself, the most he can charge you is the actual filing fee of $27 to $32.  He can't charge for his time, gas, etc.  It's strictly actual cost.\n\nIf he tries to take an imaginary fee of $500 out of your deposit, you can sue him in small claims under the consumer fraud statute.  That means he will have to pay you $1,000 (double what he owes you) for trying to cheat you.\n\nHow many units are in your building?  Is it owner occupied?  Were you notified of the location of your deposit in writing within 30 days of giving it to him?  I'm asking because there may be a way to protect yourself from him trying to deduct anything from your deposit depending on your answer.  Post the answer to those questions as additional info, and I will update my answer to tell you if you can do this or not.

Probably 2 years from discovery, but you should call an attorney, in your area to make sure.  We live in 50 different countries, all under one umbrella called the USofA.\nAnd so, the laws are different in each state, and each county for that matter.\n\n\nBest to ask a lawyer.

Both.  If you have an uncontested divorce with little property and no child custody, it will probably be relatively easy.\n\nIf you have a knock down drag out divorce over contested custody and property division it will be very difficult.

People need to qualify their real estate questions with information about the State and County they are talking about. Get ready to go to court. It is no big deal. The Sheriff will throw them out after you win the case unless they show up and fight. Depending on what City you live in, that could take from 30 days to 9 months. See an attorney or turn the whole thing over to a professional property manager. People shouldn't do these things on their own. What you will end up losing on your own is far worse than what you would pay a professional.

maybe - it depends on your state's laws. in NJ, if you are separated for misconduct, you will be penalized for 6 weeks, then start to collect benefits. other states are more strict. filing a claim is free, so on your last day, apply right away. if you are denied benefits, there is an appeal process.

Two weeks is a short time.   I have been separated for two years now and my divorce should be finalized in two weeks.  LOL... it is always two weeks.  I still don't feel ready to date yet, but I am.  What ya gonna do?  Turn down people when they ask you?  Where have I met people, lets see... at the grocery store check out lane, at the car dealer waiting for my Van to be repaired, at Johnny's New York Style Pizza parlor, my neighbor, on yahoo... gosh, everywhere.  Only go out tho when you are ready.  I worried for the longest time that I just wanted to go out with guys to prove that guys would still find me attractive.
