How long will the divorce take from the beginning to end?
Indiana’s dissolution of marriage law requires a waiting period of 60 days from the date of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is filed with the Clerk’s office until there can be a final Decree of Dissolution of Marriage. Based upon Indiana law, the shortest length of time a divorce can take is 60 days. Most divorces will take longer than 60 days, as it takes time to gather information concerning the assets and debts of the marriage. If child custody is in dispute, the process can be quite lengthy, sometimes taking up to a year or more. Therefore, depending on the complexity of the case, the time from the date of filing until the conclusion varies greatly.
