What is the name of your state? PA
I'm writing from Adams County PA - FYI
I'm coming up on my 91st day of my uncontested, pro-se, no-fault divorce ... it is my understanding that on this 91st day, I need to take the following items to the prothonotary:
$15 filing fee
$12.75 fee for Order of Court
Parecipe to Transmit Record
Affidavit of Consent (2); one signed by me, one signed by stbx
Waiver of Notice of Intention to Request Entry of a Divorce Decree signed by both
Vital Record form
Notice of Entry of Final Decree (original and one copy)
and 2 stamped self-addressed envelopes
These are my questions:
when I originally filed the intitial complaint for divorce with the prothonotary, I never heard a peep from the court ... Is this OK?!? Am I to assume that all is still ok to enter final decree?
Is anyone aware of anything else I'll need besides what is listed above?
Should I also "file" or include our (self-)prepared Separation and Property Settlement Agreement, along with our (self-)prepared Custody Agreement and Parenting Plan? Or do we just keep this between ourselves?
Do we need to wait to sign those last two agreements in front of a Notary? And can this be done at the Prothonotary's office?
:grin: AND, most importantly, when will we be officially divorced? Is it at the time the papers are filed (on that 91st day?) or do we have to wait to receive the actual divorce decree? (and how long will that take???) It seems as though we won't even have to go before a judge ... can this be so?
and, lastly, even though we have managed to agree on everything AT THIS TIME, once this divorce is FINAL ... what kind of things will I have to worry about her threatening me with the first time she gets p.o.'d with me? Am I protected by these agreements? They are, I believe, very fair, thorough & comprehensive.
Thanks in advance for your help! This forum has been a life-saver for me!
