Question 1

How long does a divorce take in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

For a no-fault divorce by mutual consent, Pennsylvania requires a 90-day waiting period after the divorce complaint is served before the divorce can be finalized. Uncontested cases often resolve shortly after that period. Contested divorces involving disputed property or custody can take a year or longer, depending on the issues.

Question 2

Do I have to be separated before I can file for divorce?

Accepted Answer

Pennsylvania allows a no-fault divorce by mutual consent after the 90-day period, or a no-fault divorce after a one-year separation if one spouse does not consent. The firm can review your situation and explain which path applies.

Question 3

Is there a residency requirement to file for divorce in PA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. At least one spouse must have been a resident of Pennsylvania for at least six months before filing.

Question 4

What is the difference between a contested and uncontested divorce?

Accepted Answer

An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on all major terms — property, support, and custody. A contested divorce means one or more of those issues remains unresolved and may require negotiation or court involvement.

Question 5

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Accepted Answer

Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. There is no attorney's fee unless the firm recovers compensation on your behalf.

Question 6

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Pennsylvania?
