The best way to find out if the action is still pending or has been disposed of is by checking with the county clerk.
When you sthat that divorce is uncontested, are you saying that there are no issues with respect to child support, custody, spousal support, or equitable distribution of marital assets?
Did your wife retain an attorney or prepare the papers herself (pro se)? You may want to contact the attorney or your ex-wife to find out the status.
There are several affidavits that need to be submitted by both sides in order for a final judgment of divorce to be granted. There are a number of other important forms that the plaintiff would need to submit as well.
