If you deal with a reputable firm, the average time to obtain an uncontested divorce in New York State is 10 weeks. The key is choosing an experienced, honest firm.

An uncontested divorce in New York State can be done by the parties involved WITHOUT an attorney if they can get all of the correct information. It is the duty of the court that the petition was issued to to guide the parties to the procedures. It is usually best to have an atty but a paralegal can do all of the paper work and filing as can the participants.
