Assuming that both parties have filed the proper papers - when the case appears on the judge's docket he will conduct a hearing with the involved parties. Providing that the divorce is not contested by either side, it should be a relatively quick process and it becomes effective the minute the judge affixes his signature to the document. On the other hand - if either party contests the divorce action or any of the provisions of the setllement (e.g.: the division of marital property - matters of alimony and/or child support - etc) it could become a long and drawn-out process.
