Frequently Asked Questions
“What is a Mutual Consent divorce?”
Under Section 3301(c) of the PA Divorce Code, the court can grant a divorce if both parties file an Affidavit of Consent stating the marriage is irretrievably broken, and 90 days have passed since the complaint was filed.
“What is the Praecipe to Transmit Record?”
This is the final form (Form 12) you file to tell the court, "I've done everything, the 90 days are up, please review my file and sign the Decree." Without this, your case sits in limbo.
“What if my spouse won't sign the Affidavit?”
If your spouse refuses to sign, you cannot use Mutual Consent. You may have to wait for a One-Year Separation (Section 3301(d)) divorce, which has different forms and timelines.
“Do I have to go to court?”
Usually, no. In most Mutual Consent cases, the divorce is processed "by mail" or electronically. If your paperwork is correct, you receive the Decree in the mail without a hearing.
