Difference between revisions of "Requirements for Divorce and Annulment"

This varies from case to case and will depend on how long it takes for the issues of parenting arrangements, child support, spousal support and division of family property and debt, all of which are called “corollary relief,” to be resolved. Except in special circumstances, all of the corollary relief must be resolved before a court will make a divorce order. Once the corollary relief is resolved, then a divorce can take 3 to 6 months to finalize, depending on what steps have already been taken by that point and how busy the court registry where the court case has been filed is. The time it takes to get a divorce order may be shortened if a court application for divorce is done through a court hearing. For more information on this option you should speak with a lawyer.
