Divorces can take anywhere between a few months to many years to be finalised, depending on the specific circumstances of the matter. The earlier parties can settle the divorce between them, or settle particular issues in the divorce to reduce the number of days for any trial, the faster the process is to get a Final Divorce Order. If the parties settle before instituting the divorce, or shortly after, then it will only take a few months to allow for enough time for the mandatory procedural requirements in the Divorce Act and the Court Rules to be followed. If there are multiple issues in dispute that the parties cannot agree on before the trial and/or complex issues which require expert evidence and more time to be spent at trial arguing the matter, then the number of days required for the trial will increase and the earliest dates the Court can assign for trial will be much later, including a year or more after request.
