It depends. If you filed in Bronx County (I hope not), it could take almost a year before the court gets back to you with any requests for corrections, which there undoubtedly will be. Even under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to get things 100% right in a divorce by publication, but dealing with the Bronx is even worse. Get ready for a VERY long process, which may not even get you divorced in the end. You may be better off contacting a lawyer with experience in this type of case (such as us). http://www.NYCDivorceCenter.com
