NORTH CAROLINA Part 17

How long does a divorce take?

The time needed to complete a divorce action depends upon many factors, including the degree to which you and your spouse may have agreed on many matters and the backlog of cases in your county. You cannot file a request for divorce until you and your spouse have lived separate an apart for one year.


If both spouses have agreed on all aspects of the divorce, and if grounds for the divorce exist, a judgment of divorce will usually take three months or more after the divorce complaint is filed. If aspects are contested, a final decision may take a much longer period of time.
