Actually the 60 day waiting period only means the judge CAN grant your divorce on day 61. Nothing automatically happens at that time. Only if all other requirements have been met (either service or waiver of service signed and filed, Decree of Divorce prepared and signed by both parties unless a default, prove up hearing done correctly, etc.) will the judge actually grant the divorce and sign the Decree.

Bend County. Everywhere I have read says divorces are final 61 days after the day from filing. Are you saying it could take MONTHS before a trial date is given?? My wife and I agree on everything and she will sign the papers and we have no childen or property to split up. I thought I could just file myself with the court and the divorce be final 61 days from that time, no? Please help me, thanks so much... Scott,
