How long does it take to get a divorce in Delaware
In Delaware, the divorce process requires a 6-month separation period before filing if there are minor children involved, otherwise, there's no mandatory waiting period.
Uncontested divorces, where both parties agree on key issues, can be relatively quick, often finalized within a few months after filing.
Contested divorces, involving disputes over assets, custody, or support, can take considerably longer, sometimes over a year, depending on the complexity and the court's schedule.
The duration also varies by county, with some having longer wait times for court dates.
Overall, while Delaware allows for expedited uncontested divorces, contested cases can extend the timeline significantly.
