What Does the Divorce Process Look Like in PA?

The divorce process in Pennsylvania depends on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested. The process could last weeks, months, or at worst, years, especially in contested divorces. To get a better idea of what you may expect in your particular situation, we summarize the general steps in contested and uncontested divorces below:

Contested Divorce Process

Filing the Complaint
Serving the Complaint within 30 days of filing, or 90 days if the spouse does not live in PA
If you and your spouse separated on or after December 5, 2016, you will need to live separate and apart from your spouse for 1 year before filing your Complaint in divorce
After living apart for 1 year, either party may sign and file an Affidavit Under Section 3301(d) of the Divorce Code
Serve the other party with a Notice of Intention to File the Praecipe to Transmit Record Under Section 3301 (c)(2) or Section 3301 (d) of the Divorce Code to allow them to oppose the divorce
20 days after serving the Affidavit under Section 3301(d) of the Divorce Code with blank Counter-Affidavit, serve the Notice of Intention to File the Praecipe to Transmit Record Under Section 3301 (c)(2) or Section 3301 (d) of the Divorce Code or file Waivers of the Notice of Intent
Once the above documents have been properly serviced, the divorce may be concluded by either party filing with the court a Final Praecipe to Transmit Record
The Divorce Decree will be mailed to both parties if there are no mistakes on the documents above

Uncontested Divorce Process

Filing the Complaint
Serving the Complaint within 30 days of filing, or 90 days if the spouse does not live in PA
Wait 90 days from the date the Complaint was served to the other spouse before filing the consent forms
After 90 days have passed, both parties may file an Affidavit of Consent within 30 days of signing and dating it to declare they consent to the divorce
Each party could sign and file a Waiver of Notice or they could mail each other a Notice of Intention to File the Praecipe to Transmit Record Under Section 3301(c)(1) of the Divorce Code
The divorce may be concluded when either party files with the court a Final Praecipe to Transmit Record
The Divorce Decree will be mailed to both parties if there are no mistakes on the documents above

As you can see, the divorce process is complicated regardless of whether it is contested or uncontested. Our attorney can do the “heavy lifting” for you so you don’t have to worry. We will leave no stone unturned.

Why Choose Regan Law Firm?

While there are many divorce firms to choose from, you want to ensure you choose your lawyer wisely. There’s a lot on the line, which is why our divorce lawyers go above and beyond to help clients in Allentown find the peace of mind they need and deserve.

Take a look at the other qualities that make us unique:

Well-rounded experience: Attorney Regan’s experience in handling mediation, litigation, custody/support matters, and high conflict and high net worth divorces allows him to confidently counsel and advocate for clients until a successful outcome is achieved. As a former prosecutor, Attorney Regan spent every day in the courtroom for three years handling cases before judges and juries.

That’s why if your divorce doesn’t settle before trial, you can trust us to take matters to court and fearlessly champion your interests. Whether you choose to resolve your divorce with mediation, or after discovery and trial, our lawyer will go the distance to help you get the results you’re looking for.

Mediation: We offer pre-litigation meditation for clients who want to resolve their divorce without going to court. Since divorce can cost tens of thousands of dollars for both spouses, mediation can serve as an affordable and effective alternative to fighting in court depending on the issues at hand. If both you and your spouse are willing to mediate your divorce, know that we are in your corner.

Availability: We understand that you have work and family responsibilities and may be unavailable to talk or meet during regular business hours as a result. This is why Attorney Regan has evening and weekend availability to help clients when issues arise.

Personalized approach: All spouses are unique, and every case is different. For this reason, we take the time to truly get to know our clients to represent them more effectively. We don’t believe in using the same standard approach for each client but instead, we tailor our services to the unique needs of our clients.
