Hello,
1. The divorce will still be a contested one and not my mutual consent.
2. Normally if the alimony amount is large, the court gives reasonable time to deposit the amount. Sometimes a liberty is given to deposit the amount in installments. The reasonable time may run into 6 months or so. The lawyer can request the court after the amount is settled to get some reasonable time for depositing the same.
3. This depends on the next date of hearing. Normally the divorce decree is give immediately after finalization of proceedings.
4. The parties can remarry on the very next day of getting the divorce decree.
Regards,
Nishant
