The 60 day "waiting period" being over or almost over does not effect the other side's ability to contest the divorce. Only final trial does that.

Lawsuit / Dispute Attorney in Houston, TX.
The title of your question and the question are not matching up. If you "thought" you were divorced for the last five years, did you ever wonder why you had not received a copy of the decree? Also, I am not cure what you mean by contesting the divorce 2 days before the 60 day waitnig perod. Did you timely file an answer?

Bottom line is yes. The waiting period has nothing to do with contestability.
