How long does it usually take to finalize a divorce in Texas?
There is a 60-day waiting period before the divorce may be finalized, which begins the day the Petition for Divorce is filed. When the spouses settle all issues during the 60-day waiting period and sign a Final Decree of Divorce, the decree may be submitted to the court as early as the 61st day if Judge’s schedule can accommodate the hearing date. The District Court Clerk will be able to provide you with more information on scheduling a specific hearing date.
