What is a statutory cooling off period?

Answer to what is a cooling off period

Every jurisdiction has some type of cooling-off period or waiting requirement that must elapse before a final divorce decree may be entered. The term cooling-off period refers to the statutorily mandated time period following the initiation of divorce proceedings during which no final decree may be entered. This period usually runs for a number of months depending on the jurisdiction.

In many instances, the divorce decree is not issued immediately after the cooling-off period has expired. This is so because divorce presents many complex issues that the parties must resolve or the court must resolve for them. In addition, the parties' respective attorneys' calendars must be accommodated and the court calendar must be considered.
