How long does it take to get a divorce?

The divorce process typically takes a minimum of four months from the application date to the issuance of the divorce order. However, complications, such as difficulty serving documents to your spouse, can significantly prolong this process.

Ultimately, the timeline for obtaining a divorce hinges on the complexity of your situation. To avoid delays, it’s essential to meet all requirements from the outset, such as providing documents like your marriage certificate and avoiding errors or omissions in your application.

Additionally, a divorce will only be granted if you and your spouse demonstrate appropriate arrangements for the care and welfare of any children involved.

Importantly, the divorce order only takes effect one month and one day after the final hearing.
