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.

"Thank you Nicholas -- your team and clients are lucky to have you."
It had been a long two years of waiting and frustrations in the hands of my previous lawyer to get the legal closure I needed to move forward with my post-divorce life. As anyone going through divorce knows, nothing about it is easy or enjoyable ... that is until I met Nicholas Montaño. As office manager and head paralegal at Embry Family Law, Nicholas took my call and ran with it. From the get-go, I felt supported and that I was in capable hands. Within a few weeks, I was happily divorced and all was finalized, even sooner than the court date assigned to my case. Throughout our [thankfully] short time working together, he showed compassion, empathy, and understanding. And I especially appreciated his effective and efficient communication, and willingness to go above and beyond with sensitivity to time.
