I’m doing an uncontested divorce. No children, no property division. It’s a very simple divorce. My husband already signed his paper. Is that possible that I can get an uncontested divorce in Guilford county without court hearing?
I’m currently out of state, can I submit the Notice of hearing by mail or I have to submit to clerk of court in person?
You should be able to file a notice of hearing by mail.
You will need to mail 3 copies of the notice of hearing along with a self-addressed and stamped envelope so the clerk’s office can return 2 of the filed copies to you. They will keep 1 copy for the court file.
You may be able to get a clerk’s divorce without a hearing, but generally absolute divorces will need to have a hearing before a judge, even if uncontested.
