My divorce was final 8 wks. from the day I filed. It takes longer depending on your custody, property issues. Hard to be patient after 13 years, but it will happen.

It only takes 3-6 months usually. Unless someone is not filing for divorce on their end. You being separated for 13 YEARS tells me your spouse has not gotten a lawyer, or filed for divorce, OR you cannot seem to agree on terms. Either way, a good divorce attorney will never string you along that long. Think about it....13 years seperated? Someone is not doing their part to end it.

Depends, when were the papers filed? Where were the papers filed? Who filed the papers? What are the reasons for the divorce? Anyone protesting the divorce? Any issues that need to be decided? Whats the big rush after 13 years? Or is this what the new love is saying? Ask for proof my dear before proceeding any further. Good luck!

After five years seperation you can divorce without the consent of the other person. The quickest way is a 'DIY' divorce. You go to the court and ask for the papers, fill them in, pay a fee then follow the process through. Because theres no solicitors involved its a lot quicker and cheaper. The forms are quite easy to fill in and it only takes three or four months altogether.

If you've been seperated for 13 years, then the divorce should have been final about 12 1/2 years ago!!!!

hi if you have been separated for 13 years your divorce should not take too long a matter of months depending on the other person, are they agreeable to the divorce?

No longer if an uncontested divorce. Longer if contested with property. I was married for 10 years. My divorce came through in 6 weeks. Uncontested.

Depends on what state you live in. In PA, it's 90 days for a no-fault divorce.

if it is non contested depending on the county it should take about 30days from the day filed. but why would it matter how long it takes you havent done it for 13 years.
