The first court hearing in a divorce case typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours. In a no-fault divorce, where the spouses have managed to reach an agreement on key issues, this hearing can be even shorter, sometimes less than an hour.
If the parties have settled all matters, the quickest divorce may even be granted during the first hearing. In some cases, the involvement of a neutral third-party mediator can help in negotiating effectively to ensure a swift resolution.
