Re: divorce with mutual consent

The mutual consent divorce should take minimum six months to be final; the parties are required to appear in the court twice - at the time of filing of the petition; and on the next date of hearing which is normally after about six months depending upon Roster of the court. The parties are also entitled to change their mind at the time of final hearing. Thus it may depend upon your wife if she continues with the present stand or she changes her mind; if she does not change her mind, you may get divorce after about six months.
