Divorce

Are you sure it will be final on January of 2007? I don't know about Florida but in Connecticut and most other states, your first court date is never your last, it takes at least six months before they will finalize it and this is per state statute.

Being uncontested with no kids, no real property (house), alimony, and less than 5 years of marriage that could be the last court date.

I did a divorce with very similiar situations last year. It was over in a month.

I represented the wife, who filed the paperwork, and the guy didn't even have to come to the hearing. He signed everything ahead of time. The hearing took about 3 mins. and it was done in the Judge's chambers, not the court room.

But that's in NH. Florida could be, and probably is, different.

Hmm, if it's that way in NH it probably is in Florida too. The theory in Connecticut is to have a statuatory six month waiting period to see if there's a possible reconciliation. One of my friends filed twice on his wife and before the six months was up, she took him back and they reconciled both times.
