Stoltz is right. Only the petitioner has to be in court. It takes a whole total of maybe 5 minutes. All the haggling has already been done, and papers signed, before the court date. The 60 day waiting period is a "cooling off" period. Some brilliant legislator came up with this idea. It's stupid. It seemed endless. And it's rarely right at 60 days, because you have to finish up whatever haggling you plan to do over community property, and when you have the final decree all notorized and signed, then you have to get on the court docket. Mine came in close at 66 days. That's the closest to the exact 60 days my lawyer said he'd ever seen. Because we basically knew how we wanted to split everything going into it, and the kids are grown.
Good luck~
