As simple as someone can put it; what is the process for divorce?
Also, once you submit it, is there actually a "waiting line" to get your request evaluated?
Thanks
(considering divorce)

I let the lawyer handle mine. I sigend the paper work, it went to court, signed MORE paperwork, then the divorce was granted. Total time....3 months.

Contact an attorney and file the paperwork. There is normally a lengthy amount of time before it is granted depending on the amount of property, other marital assets, and whether kids are involved. Regardless, as many divorces that are filed it does take a good amount of time. Good Luck.

1 you go to the attorney and explain your side of things
2 he draws up papers and your spouse is served, either in person or by an acknowledgment of service.
3 your spouse answers your papers( there attorney)
4 you come to terms either through mediation or agreement if this does not happen the divorce takes longer
5 you go before a judge and state the case
the divorce is filed t
6 you get your divorce papers after the judge signs off

First, depends where you live. Check on line for your state as to what the specifics are as to getting a divorce. Then seek out an attorney.

it does all depend on what state you live in and what type of laws there are. also it depends on what type of divorce you want the best thing is to go and find the laws of your state then find the paperwork you will need plus this will let you know if you actully do need a laywer or not. i filed my own and dont have anysort of monthly payments she didnt get evrything i decided what was fair so i would definitly look into the laws.

Get a lawyer, they will handle it, and I believe after everything is filed and set it will be final in six months, but if the other spouse makes it complicated or vice versa, then they may keep submitting paperwork to court which will delay it.

It depends on where you live. In my case, I had to wait one year from the legal separation (which was filed at the register of deeds in my county). Many law firms put the conditions on their websites. My law firm let me have a free consultation before proceeding with filing for separation. They answered all my questions then.

Try mediation if your partner agrees. It is very inexpensive. Ours was 2K. You have to file the papers & hire the sheriff to serve papers, but the Mediator guides you.
And yes, there is a 90 day waiting period, not for evaluation but for a court date
