Pennsylvania permits no-fault divorce without requiring either spouse to allege wrongdoing by the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Difference Between Contested & Uncontested Divorce?

Contested divorces involve disputes over key issues and can require additional court involvement. In contrast, an uncontested divorce involves mutual agreement on the divorce and the material terms that must be resolved before a decree can be entered. This approach can reduce conflict and allow both individuals to move forward through a more cooperative process.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Pittsburgh?

In a Pennsylvania mutual-consent divorce, both spouses generally must wait 90 days after commencement and service before filing the required Affidavits of Consent. The overall timeline can vary based on service, document completion, filing acceptance, court processing, and whether the court requests additional action. We prepare and file documents promptly, but court-controlled timing can affect when a decree is entered.

Are There Residency Requirements for Filing an Uncontested Divorce in Pittsburgh?

At least one spouse must have been a bona fide resident of Pennsylvania for at least six months immediately before filing the divorce complaint. We can discuss the residency requirement during your consultation and prepare the appropriate filing documents for your circumstances.

What Documents Are Required for an Uncontested Divorce?

For an uncontested divorce, common documents include the divorce complaint, verification, vital statistics forms, consent materials, and a marital settlement agreement when applicable. The documents needed can depend on property, debts, support, children, name changes, service, and the terms the spouses have agreed upon. Our online legal document preparation process helps clients provide the information needed for their filings.
