While a person may face many different scenarios when seeking or dealing with divorce, each person’s situation is unique, and your needs are different from anyone else’s. That said, a divorce case is a large undertaking with many complications and variables.
It can take anywhere from about three months for the simplest, uncontested divorces where there are no children or large assets, to extended, tumultuous and costly proceedings involving assets and/or businesses as well as minor children.
Even in a simple divorce, there may be smaller assets, such as a car or low debts, or issues around health insurance. Larger assets such as a house, a retirement account, a small business, or perhaps some larger debts, would make the proceedings more drawn-out. And when children are involved, there are additional steps – including mediation to determine custody, and possibly the appointment of a Guardian ad Litem to assist in determining the children’s best interests.
It is true, however, that any divorce can be an emotionally difficult time, and the steps and processes involved can be confusing.
