The time it takes to finalize a divorce in California varies. However, it is important to note that there’s a mandatory six-month waiting period that begins when the respondent receives the divorce papers. That is the minimum time needed to finalize a divorce. The process might take longer than this, especially if there are complex issues like child custody and alimony to resolve. Every divorce is unique, and timelines will differ based on individual circumstances. Navigate the divorce process with clarity by consulting with Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell, LLP.
