Once I lived in the US and my friend was getting ready to her divorce while I was busy while building my career and enjoying happy relationship. To sum up, the process of an uncontested divorce in the majority of US slightly varies from state, but basic steps involve the following: - You and your spouse meet the requirements by state family law (such as being a permanent resident before a divorce is filed or in some states the marriage must be acknowledged within the state territory)
- One of the spouses files the divorce petition or complaint at local court and also serves it to another spouse (you may read about the process of serving divorce papers to another spouse in this article https://onlinedivorcer.com/blog/what-to-know-about-serving-a-spouse-that-lives-in-another-state as this process had some peculiarities)
- Once the papers are filed at court and the other spouse accepts the divorce conditions, the case is heard by judge and the marriage is officially over.
