In the case of a divorce where both parties agree on the community property/debt, a parenting plan, child support, etc., the divorce can become final fairly quickly. Uncontested divorces do not require any court hearings. Instead, uncontested paperwork, signed by both parties, is submitted to the judge’s office and the divorce is granted by the judge.
If the divorce is contested, that is, the parties cannot agree on certain issues like community property/debt, a parenting plan, etc., the time it takes depends on how many hearings must be held to settle the contested issues.
