Divorce Process Serving in Alabama

Your spouse must be formally served for a divorce to proceed. SimpleDivorce assigns a licensed process server who delivers the papers, documents each attempt with GPS and time stamps, and returns a notarized affidavit of service for the court. In Alabama, most uncontested cases finalize in about 30 to 60 days after filing, once the mandatory 30-day waiting period has passed.
