- Q. I'm the plaintiff and my motion for summary judgment was granted in my favor.

- Q. How long it takes in hudson county after MSA been filed been there waiting for more than year in an uncontested divorce?

Your lawyer should be able to tell you which judge the matter is assigned to and he / she should have filed it through JEDS and directly with chambers and the lawyer should be able to contact chambers to find out when its going to be addressed.
