Starting the divorce process is a big decision—and even after that first step, it’s normal to feel uncertain about what comes next. The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Whether you're filing for divorce or responding to a petition, knowing what to expect can make the process feel more manageable and less intimidating.
So, What Happens After the Paperwork?
Once your divorce paperwork is filed, several key steps typically follow:
- Serving the Papers – The other party needs to be officially notified. We can help ensure this is done correctly and legally.
- Waiting Periods – Most states have a mandatory waiting period before the divorce can be finalized. We’ll let you know what applies in your case.
- Negotiating Terms – This might involve working out agreements on things like property division, support, or parenting arrangements. We’ll provide the forms and guidance to help make these discussions smoother.
- Finalizing the Divorce – When everything’s ready, we help file your final documents to make the divorce official.
