How Long Will It Take?

Since we are a local company and file hundreds of uncontested New York divorces each year in the Capital District, we can provide you with up to date information about the local Supreme Court systems. The amount of time it will take to have your uncontested divorce granted depends, to a certain extent, on what county you are filing in. The caseload varies from county to county and from judge to judge. Please call us so that we may give you approximate filing time frames in the county you wish to file in.  The average time it takes for an uncontested divorce in most local counties is 2 - 3 months.  Please see our resources page for New York State County Clerk's Office information.

How Much Will It Cost?

Our fee to prepare all of your uncontested divorce documents is $499.00. Your divorce will be granted in New York State Supreme Court, and the Court has currently set $335 in filing fees for an uncontested divorce in most NY counties. The filing fees are not due up front – they will be broken up into two separate payments to the County Clerk over the course of your divorce. Our fee is due up front when you are ready to get started, and we accept cash, check, credit or debit cards for our fees. The County Clerks will only accept checks or money orders for filing fees.  All filing fees must be made payable to the County Clerk.
