Family law matters are often tense, with legal disputes between current or former family members. They can take time to successfully resolve. It is normal to wonder how long your family law case will take, as well as to look for ways to expedite the legal process as much as possible. At Boyd Law, we use proven legal strategies to resolve our clients’ cases as efficiently as we can, while still protecting their best interests. We can estimate how long your specific family law matter might take during a free consultation.
It is difficult to obtain an accurate family law case timeline online, as each case is entirely unique. If you have a simple legal matter, such as an uncontested divorce where you and your former spouse both agree on all the major elements, it may take no longer than a year. Complicated or contested family law matters in California, on the other hand, can take multiple years from start to finish. Your specific timeline will depend on the issues and challenges involved.
While you may be eager to end your legal matter as quickly as possible, it is most important to protect your legal rights. At Boyd Law, we will do what it takes to pursue your case goals without wasting any time. We don’t cut corners, but we also don't sit on cases or let them fall to the wayside. We understand the headache of a family law case and will handle things in a way that is both fast and fruitful. Your lawyer will stay in touch with you about the status of your case along the way, as well.
