Frequently Asked Questions
What are the residency requirements for divorce in Massachusetts?
To file for divorce in Massachusetts, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for at least one year. If the reason for divorce happened outside Massachusetts, both parties must live in the state. Cohasset residents meet this requirement if they have lived in Massachusetts for the past year.
How long does a divorce take in Cohasset Massachusetts?
An uncontested divorce in Massachusetts can take 4 to 6 months from filing to final judgment. Contested divorces take longer, often 12 to 18 months or more, depending on court schedules and the complexity of issues like property division or child custody.
What is the difference between a contested and uncontested divorce in Massachusetts?
In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on all terms including property division, alimony, and child custody. A contested divorce means the spouses cannot agree and the court must decide one or more issues. Most Massachusetts divorces start contested but many settle before trial.
