How long does it take to get divorced?
The minimum length of time required for obtaining a divorce varies by
state. The true length of time required will depend on whether or not
you and your spouse can agree on issues and settle your case without
much court involvement, or whether you need the assistance of the
court, or of outside mediators/arbitrators to settle issues. Talk with
your attorney about how long she thinks your case may take.
