The duration of a divorce varies depending on several factors, such as whether both spouses can agree on key issues like property division, child custody, and support. In Illinois, an uncontested divorce—where both parties reach a mutual agreement—can typically be finalized in a few months. However, if disputes arise and court intervention is required, the process may take a year or longer. More complex cases involving significant assets, custody disputes, or extended negotiations can further lengthen the timeline.
Each divorce is unique, but having experienced legal representation can help minimize delays and ensure the process is handled efficiently.
