Can you speed up the divorce process?
Coming to an agreement with the spouse is generally the quickest way to speed up the divorce so that it doesn’t take weeks or months to complete the process. When there is no contest about the issues within the divorce, the time used will lessen greatly. This also decreases costs with the lawyer and before a judge.
What if one person doesn’t want divorce?
The court needs to agree to grant the divorce, not the other person in the marriage.
