Divorce time limit?

What is the name of your state? Fl. How long from the time of filling does a judge have to finalize the divorce?

this depends on so many different factors -- is the divorce contested or uncontested, how many hearings are there, is mediation mandatory, what are you fighting about, are their children involved. How long all this takes is how long all this takes pretty much.

The average length of time in Indiana for a divorce to become final is about six months.

However, as you were already told, there are many different factors that effect the length of time it takes for a divorce to be final. Therefore, don't make any "plans" entire after your divorce is final.

The question was not for me but for a friend. All the agreements were taken care of. Kids, house, etc. I guess I should have stated all that to start with. There was no fighting and it was not contested. I guess his wife just wanted out. Does the judge have a certain period of time within the law to sign the final papers or can he just let it lay until he feels like signing it?

The judge has to wait 60 days to sign the final papers.
