Los Angeles, CA family law attorney Nina Shayan Depatie talks about how long it takes to get a divorce. She acknowledges that there is no single answer to how long a divorce or family law case will take because the timeline depends largely on the parties and the issues involved. She explains that when both parties already agree on how they want to divide their assets and debts, those terms can be incorporated into a judgment and finalized within a matter of months. However, if significant issues remain contested and the parties need to resolve their disputes in court, the process can take considerably longer, potentially lasting several years before the case is fully resolved.
