Divorces usually last longer than most people expect. In Texas, there is a 60 day waiting period after a divorce petition is filed, so 60 days would be the absolute shortest time a divorce proceeding would last. Though, this is very rare. It's more common for a divorce to last six months to a year. Some divorces last multiple years when they involve custody battles or large amounts of community assets. When you contact us for a Free Consultation we can give you a better estimate for how long your case might last based on your situation.
