As you probably already know, divorce is handled differently in every state.
For example, states differ on the residency period (the amount of time you or your spouse must live in a state before you can file for divorce).
Some states also have a waiting or "cooling off" period. This is the amount of time that must pass between your separation and the finalization of the divorce.
Each state's court system also requires specific divorce forms. Following your state's specific procedure is critical.
Fortunately, when you file an uncontested divorce through LegalZoom, we take care of state-specific requirements.
