Massachusetts divorce - Waiting period after signing divorce papers.


From: MCLE: Family Law Advocacy for Low & Moderate Income Litigants (1999) Page 147:
 
If the judge finds that the facts support an irretrievable breakdown of the Marriage and approves the agreement, an order will be entered accordingly. Thirty days after the order is entered (usually the date of the hearing), a Judgment divorce Nisi is issued. The Judgment divorce Nisi becomes an absolute Judgment of divorce after 90 days. G.L. c. 208, § 1A. If you seek a divorce under this section, the divorce is not final until at least 120 days (roughly four months) have passed since the judge approved the separation agreement.
 
CHAPTER 208. DIVORCE.
 
"MGL Chapter 208: Section 21. divorce judgments; entry.
 
Section 21. Judgments of divorce shall in the first instance be judgments nisi, and shall become absolute after the expiration of ninety days from the entry thereof, unless the court within said period, for sufficient cause, upon application of any party to the action, otherwise orders. After the entry of a judgment nisi, the action shall not be dismissed or discontinued on motion of either party except upon such terms, if any, as the court may order after notice to the other party and a hearing, unless there has been filed with the court a memorandum signed by both parties, wherein they agree to such disposition of the action."
