In order to obtain a divorce in Tennessee, one of the parties involved – you or your spouse – must have lived in the state for at least six months. In cases where you and your spouse have come to an agreement on things like alimony, custody and property division, and have submitted all the appropriate and correct paperwork for a judge to determine how much child custody should be awarded to the primary residential parent, then you could conceivably be divorced within 60 days (without minor children) or 90 days (with minor children) of filing the paperwork.
