- Observe the statutory cooling-off period of 6 to 18 months
- File the second motion confirming the intention to divorce

Mutual Divorce FAQs
What makes a divorce 'mutual consent' or 'uncontested'?
Both spouses agree to the divorce and to the terms — settlement, maintenance and custody. This avoids a contested trial and is far quicker and cheaper.
Is there a mandatory waiting period?
There is usually a six-month cooling-off period between the first and second motions, though courts may waive it in suitable cases. Your lawyer will advise based on your situation.
Is the process confidential?
Yes. We handle every matter with discretion, and your documents and personal details are kept strictly confidential.
