How ever long it takes to process the paperwork. I have seen it take anywhere from days to months.

It depends on two factors. 1. There is a mandatory six-months waiting period from when the petition is served until a judgment can be entered. Once that time is up, 2. it depends on the workload of the local court you are in. You would have to ask them their processing times.
