How Long Does It Take to Get a Divorce in San Diego?
The length of time it takes to get a divorce in San Diego will depend on a number of factors, including whether the divorce is contested or uncontested. In California, there is a mandatory six-month waiting period to get a divorce. This means that even if you and your spouse agree on everything, your divorce will not be finalized until six months after the date you served your spouse with the divorce papers.
Other factors that can affect the time it takes to get a divorce in San Diego include:
- Whether you and your spouse are able to reach an agreement on all aspects of the divorce
- Whether there are any issues that need to be resolved in court, such as child custody or property division
- How busy the court is
If you and your spouse are in agreement on all aspects of the divorce, you can schedule a hearing as soon as the six-month waiting period is over. If you are unable to reach an agreement, you may need to go to court to resolve the matter, which can take significantly longer.
Benefits of Uncontested Divorce
There are a number of benefits to filing for an uncontested divorce in San Diego, including:
- Cost: Because an uncontested divorce is usually a much simpler and less time-consuming process than a contested divorce, it is generally much less expensive.
- Time: As mentioned earlier, there is a mandatory six-month waiting period to get a divorce in California. However, this waiting period begins as soon as your spouse is served with the divorce papers, which means that if you are able to reach an agreement on all aspects of the divorce, you may be able to finalize your divorce as soon as the six-month waiting period is over.
- Privacy: When you file for divorce, all of the documents you submit to the court become public record. This means that anyone can see your financial information, including your assets, debts, and income. If you and your spouse are able to reach an agreement on all aspects of the divorce, you can keep your financial information private.
- Control: In a contested divorce, a judge will make decisions about child custody, child support, spousal support, and property division. If you and your spouse are in agreement on these issues, you can make decisions about your future together.

"I will definitely be returning in the future if I ever come across another situation that will require great representation."
I stumbled across this firm when searching for a good and honest family lawyer in the San Diego area. I proceeded to call and had the pleasure of speaking with Nicholas. He is THE main reason why I agreed to pay $250 for my initial 1 hr. zoom interview with Ben. To be quite honest, I didn’t really care for any of the staff in this firm other than Nicholas. He is extremely personable and friendly and made me feel at ease during this nerve-wracking process. He took the time to talk to me on the phone for almost an hour and walked me through the process which allowed me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I truly appreciate all of your help Nick! Although I didn’t really care for the staff in this firm, I do have to give this firm a 5 star for being an honest and professional law firm. This is hard to come by. They didn’t hesitate in returning any unused funds and because of this, I have referred many of my friends and patients. I will definitely be returning in the future if I ever come across another situation that will require great representation. Thank you again for all your help!- Daniela (Google Review)
