Your question is like asking how many stars in the sky on a clear night. Depends on a miriad of circumstances..property, children. Whether one spouse contests the div.. etc. etc. etc. Your "new interest" should be able to tell you what her lawyer anticipates, if she so wishes to divulge that info.

In Ohio, I filed papers in late May of the given year & by July 22nd the divorce was over & done with. Thirty eight years of marriage was legally over. Not all states are the same when it comes to finalizing a divorce. In some states, couples have to enter into a legal seperation for a given period of time also, but that's not the case in Ohio. Your other half should have a ballpark date for you, as to when she'll be free. If a divorce is contested, then who knows how long it could take, or if there is property to divide, that can take time. It all depends on many issues.

That will vary. State laws vary on the length of time required for divorce proceedings and final judgment. Depending the on what state the divorce is filed in, how busy the court is, and how amicable the divorce is, it could be as little as thirty days. There is no maximum time limit in any state. In general, custody and property fights in a divorce take longer than divorce by mutual agreement.

You really need to define in what state this divorce will take place. In Mass. it would depend on how its filed and if its contested or not, but it is usually at least 9 months. I am 4 months into mine and its uncontested, at 6 months if its granted there will be a 3 month period for it to be final and I can get remarried the day after that. And I plan to remarry the day after its final. 3rd time is the charm.

It depends on the state. Like, in North Carolina you have to be legally separated a year before you can divorce. In California you can be happily married today and be divorced tomorrow so it just depends. Also depends on if there are any legal complications. It can take time to come up with a resolution to who gets what. She would know better than anyone else.

it entirely depends on the circumstances and personal property. if there are children involved many details are required to be worked out and if there is large amounts of community property which was accumulated during the marriage it takes a while. my best advice to anyone in this stage or thinking of it is this: talk it out, there are no winners in a divorce especially if children are involved and if there are don't forget that you will be seeing the other persons face for a long time and should there be medical emergencies it pays to remain friends not enemies.

Every state has different rulings. Take your browser and put the State in question and ask how long a divorce takes in when it is legal to remarry. It'll tell you.

Well depends how long it takes, especially how long it takes a lawyer to file it and to take it to court and make it official. It might be a couple of months to at least 6 months. LIke I said it all depends on the lawyer and how fast he files.

it takes 6 months to be final but it can be sooner if you both agree about division of the assets. So from the time you file it can be any where from 4 to 9 months for it to be final
