Today's question is: Sergio, how long does it really take to get a divorce finalized here in Florida.
Well, there no exact time for a divorce process. But, I can give you ranges.
I'll start with the extreme ranges based on our experience and history here, at the Cabanas Law Firm.
So, our record for the shortest fastest divorce, was three weeks. That's from the time that the client hired us, with us completing
all the paperwork, filing with the court on an uncontested basis, and having the judge sign off on all divorce papers with a final judgment.
And that was done in our record time of three weeks.
On the other hand, I've had complicated cases that go on for much, much longer.
One of them has been going on for almost four years.
It's largely due to the fact that there are a lot of issues. And the judge was simply not available. And part of was due to the pandemic as well. And a lot of it was a lot of extraneous circumstances that were weighing down the divorce process.
So that occur in any given case. So there's no good way that any lawyer can predict with certainty how long each case could take.
However, there are certain factors that could give us important clues.
If I were to meet with you and go over the specific facts of your case, I can give you a better range based on four factors.
Factor number 1: I look at the number and the value of the assets. And the complexities of the issues involved in these assets. Such as houses, real estate investment properties, businesses, things of that nature.
Obviously, if there are few or no marital assets, we're not likely to argue over who gets what.
Of course, the opposite, or the other extreme, is true.
If cases involved many assets of high values, or complex issues about whether certain assets are considered marital vs non-marital, then the divorce could take much longer.
The second factor that we look at is the length of the marriage.
