The most common reference to this questions of how long the California divorce process takes is, “What is the fastest I can get divorced?” This answer is easy. California has a cooling off period and says that your divorce cannot be finished until 6 months plus one day have elapsed since your spouse was served. The purpose of this time frame is to allow the parties time to reconcile.
Imagine if you could get divorced in a day, how many people would be getting re-married!
The next common reference to how long the California divorce process takes is about the paperwork. How long will it take to get all the paperwork done?
The divorce paperwork can be completed as fast as you can fill out the forms. We have even completed all the paperwork in single sittings in our office where the parties are present and sign all the documents. We just have to make sure to follow the procedure correctly as there is a certain order to filing and serving the divorce forms.
The California divorce process can be very short or very long. In fact, the divorce process isn’t all that difficult at all. What makes the divorce process difficult and take a long time is the parties involved.
If you are willing to work together to get your divorce done amicably, then the process will be relatively smooth and will take only the 6 months.
If you are not cooperative and want to fight it out in court, it could take many years.
