Do I have to wait 90 days for my divorce to be final.

There are several documents that must be filed to obtain a decree: 1.  a divorce complaint alleging a 2 year separation. 2.  that must be filed and served on the other party who will sign an acceptance of service. 3.  The Plaintiff who filed the complaint must file an affidavit of separation, and serve that on the other party.  Plaintiff files a certificate of service of that document. 4.  You can each file waivers of notice of the filing of a praecipe to transmit the record which is a request for a divorce decree.  There are other documents which must be filed as well.  I strongly urge anyone who is seeking such a divorce to hire an attorney as it will make the process much smoother and assure all the documents are filed correctly and timely.  If it is done properly, subject to the particular county and the particular judge who acts on his or her own schedule based on their case load, you can obtain a decree in as fast as 45 days.  I have done so. Of course, the 90 days is only the earliest day that parties can move in a non separation case and it does not effect how fast the court moves once the proper documents are filed.
