Re: How long does a divorce take?

Assuming that the complaint for divorce has been filed and the other person has either been served or signed an acknowledment of service and a consent to divorce, the minimum wiating period is thirty one days.

Procedurally the matter should be set for a court date once the agreement has been signed. At the hearing there are certain required questions and the judge should be presented a final judgment and decree of divorce.
