Divorce - How long does it take?
Posted By Christopher J. MacGillis on Nov 23, 2009 6:29am PST
After you file and serve the summons and petition for divorce on your spouse, parties have to wait at least another 120 days. While by law, a person may be divorced after 120 days, generally, it takes longer than 120 days to complete a divorce. Until both parties agree on all issues, or have a trial where the judge rules on each issue, parties cannot be divorced.
