Divorce Process Serving in Minnesota

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 Minnesota, about 6 to 10 weeks minimum for a joint petition, including a roughly 30-day step after signing the Marital Termination Agreement before a final hearing can be scheduled; most uncontested cases finalize in 2 to 3 months.
