What actually affects your timeline
Rush speeds up our preparation — not the court. Three clocks decide when your divorce is final.
Document preparation
Days
You pick the speed. Measured in business days from your completed questionnaire.
Court filing & processing
Weeks
The court's docket sets the pace once your documents are filed. Uncontested cases move fastest.
State waiting period
0–6 months
Many states impose a statutory cooling-off period between filing and the final decree. No one can shorten it.
Divorce rules are different in every state
Residency requirements, waiting periods, and filing fees all depend on where you file. We prepare the exact forms your state's court expects.
Residency, waiting periods, filing fees, explained per state.
How to Avoid Delays
Incomplete questionnaires, missing spouse details, and unsigned forms are the top reasons a divorce stalls. All four are preventable.
Complete the questionnaire fully, including your spouse's information
Confirm you meet your state's residency requirement before filing
Sign and notarize all forms where your state requires it
Add spouse address locating up front if you can't locate your spouse
Every questionnaire is reviewed before we prepare
We check your answers for the issues courts reject before a single form is drafted — so delays are caught before they cost you time.
