The length of your divorce might vary widely from case to case and frequently depends on your particular circumstances and intended outcome. On the one hand, a couple without children and little property could apply for a quick divorce. On the other hand, if a marriage has a prenuptial agreement in place, it can take months or even years to address problems like child custody, spousal maintenance, or a split of assets.

If you and your spouse are attempting to negotiate a marital or property settlement agreement, it is essential to have legal counsel to make sure that your rights and interests are effectively safeguarded. There is normally a waiting period after the Court issues a decision on the divorce itself before the divorce is declared final.
