Divorce Process Serving in Missouri

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 Missouri, about 30 days minimum from filing; most uncontested cases finalize in 6 weeks to 3 months, depending on the county's docket.
