It depends on each state. Some are long then others. And if you have an uncontested divorce the grounds mean nothing. If it is a disputed divorce it can have an effect on child custody and alimony and the splitting of property

Final decree can vary from state to state; check with your attorney. Uncontested divorces (where the "defendant" - the person who is getting dumped, doesn't complain) go a lot smoother & faster, because there's no bickering over stuff.
As for grounds for divorce, I believe there are a lot of states that are "no fault" divorce states, meaning that you can divorce a person because it's Tuesday; in other words, you do not need to provide a valid reason for separation (such as adultery, etc).
However, if you are citing violence as a reason for divorce, the courts will step in (in most cases) and assist you in getting the proper legal protection you may need to keep the violent spouse away from you.
