Divorce Process Serving in West Virginia
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 West Virginia, most uncontested cases finalize in 4–8 weeks once the final hearing (no earlier than 20 days after service) is held and paperwork is approved.
