Uncontested Divorce in West Virginia
When you and your spouse agree, divorce doesn't need a courtroom battle or a five-figure legal bill. SimpleDivorce prepares your state-specific forms, coordinates signatures, and files your case with the court — court filing is included, and we can serve your spouse when needed. 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.
