Unfortunately, there’s no definitive answer to this question, sometimes simple divorces with amicable spouses take only a few months, however, acrimonious divorces and parties with complicated financial entanglements can take much longer:
Dividing assets: If you and your spouse share assets called Community Property and disagree on how to divide them, it can lengthen the divorce process.
Separate Property disputes: If you or your spouse have disputed claims for separate property, it may take more time to resolve them.
Child custody battles: Getting to a custody agreement can be a bitter back-and-forth that takes time to process; agreements will delay your divorce or even warrant a hearing or trial.
Child support disputes: If you can’t agree on fair child support payments, the case might need to be put to trial.
Alimony: Alimony or spousal support can be a source of disagreement between the parties and may delay the case.
Trial: If your case has to go to trial to be resolved by the judge or jury, then your case will take longer because you will have to wait for a trial date from the court and take all the necessary steps to prepare.
The cost of your divorce will depend, in part, on the legal counsel that you choose to represent you in the divorce process. Complex issues, such as cases involving significant or unusual assets or disputes over potentially complicated matters such as separate property, jurisdictional disputes or child custody may require more work, have a longer process and result in a more costly divorce.
