After my divorce hearing, will they mail me a divorce certificate? How long does it take?
Sunshine Girl asked:
I already had my divorce hearing, and the judge signed off on everything, but i forgot to ask if they were mailing me the paperwork. Are they going to mail a divorce certificate? And if so, about how many weeks will it take?

Mine took six weeks. And you may be surprised to find out when the judge actually signs the document! I thought I was divorced and got married, only to learn later he hadn’t actually signed it until the day after I married my second wife!

Yes, all courts will mail a final divorce decree however when depends on the state and the court.
Some states have waiting periods after the divorce papers have been filed. Some will require a wait of 30, 60 days even up to 6 months after the papers have been filed before you are legally divorced.
If your state has a waiting period, you will receive papers by mail once the time has expired. If not, it should not take more than a few weeks to a month, all depending on how busy the clerks office is.
