How long does it take to get a divorse?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

It can take a few months to a couple of years. If you have children, property, money invested, cars, or a business this could take quite sometime, because one party will argue with the other. Usually it's split in half, but if there is a company involved this can get very sticky. If you have no children, rent an apartment or condo, and own no property it is usually a fairly quick process.
