Depends on your state & whether it's a no fault divorce or a fault divorce. Look at www.divorcenet.com for info on your state & the requirements.

Depends on the backlog of your court system. Once filed your spouse is usually served within 72 hrs and tehn he has a certain time to respond but usually the court date is set on his papers. If divorce is uncontested and all goes well and once the judge renders his verdict then it usually takes 30 days to be registered in the records dept and the divorce is final. If the divorce is contested then it could take some time anywhere from months to even years to end, but mostly depends on when the courts can schedule it into court thus the backlog with todays high number of divorces.

if the divorce is uncontested in the UK its six months till you get the decree absolute, but if contested you must be separated for two years minimum, if there are children then it can take much longer as access must be arranged either amicably or through the families court who will appoint a caffcas officer to liaise with the court and both parties. see a solicitor ASAP as all time limits depend on the grounds for you seeking a divorce, also joint properties and finances have to be settled via the courts.

If there are no kids you can get it right away. Consider a mediator to divy up any accumulated property so you have a solid contract and there you are - max time 2-3 months. If there are kids it gets very tricky and expensive. Get a good Lawyer and save some money by asking to use an arbitrator for the property settlement. Good Luck!

Begin a sentence with a capital letter, use i as a pronoun capitalized (I) and wait as a verb has no capital letter, and is spelled as above.
