Divorce Decree
Revision as of 11:45, 14 October 2022 by Attorney David King (talk | contribs)
| Simple Divorce | |
| Statute: | § 50-10(e) |
| Description | Simplified processes for getting a divorce decree when there are no disputes |
| Takeaway | Simple divorces are easier, but do still require all of the formalities of a lawsuit. |
A simple, uncontested divorce is the fastest, easiest, cheapest way to get a divorce decree itself. However, it does still require all of the formalities of a lawsuit, because you always have to sue for divorce.
Qualifying for a Simple Divorce
Your divorce may qualify for a simplified process if:
- The spouse being sued for divorce (the defendant) is not in the military
- There are no other disputes in the lawsuit for child support, property/debt, etc.
- The spouses have been living in separate buildings for one year[1]
