In New York, the duration of a divorce can vary widely based on several factors. An uncontested divorce, where both parties agree on all terms, can be finalized in as little as six months. However, if the divorce is contested or involves complex issues like property division or child custody, it may take a year or longer. The process includes filing paperwork, waiting for court dates, and potentially attending hearings. Both parties must complete required paperwork, and if disputes arise, the process may extend further. Cooperation and timely responses can help expedite the process.
