Well over a year.

You can contest a divorce as long as you would like. However, a judge can decide to grant the divorce at any time.
None required
In the western world you cant. you can however contest the reasons that are given for a divorce if they are incorect.
Your spouse can contest the divorce at any point that they want to. They cannot force you to stay married to them so it only drags it out if they contest it.

The specifics depend on the law of the state where the divorce is filed. However, most states provide an ability to contest a divorce. It seems unlikely that your place of residence would impact that ability.
it take at least 30 days after your hearing is heard for the judges to get everything filed for state records.
It's finalized the day you go for your final court hearing.
Your wife cannot contest the divorce itself; she can only contest the division of property and assets of the marriage. The divorce case cannot go on forever; there will be a trial and the assets will be divided fairly by the court.
I just got off the phone with the county clerk and so long as the divorce is final you can get married that day!
If you're in the US, you can contest it, and it will delay things, but it won't do you any good in the long run--a judge will not and cannot force someone to remain married if they don't want to be married.
It all depends on what state you live in. States like Florida that are a No-Fault divorce state wont require any reason for a divorce. Which means they can contest it all they want, but it won't do them any good. You can divorce for any reason as long as one person says it is over. In other states that aren't a No-Fault state you will need a reason for filing for Divorce, such as infidelity, abuse ect.
I think that Elizabeth Ward from Russellville, Arkansas, won the Miss America contest in 1982.
