How long for divorce??

I live in canada, my wife is filing for divorce on the grounds of adultry. How long should it take from point of filing to final divorce? It is uncontested and evreything is split-up so that everyone is happy. Also there are no children involved.

I live in Michigan, so there is no surprise that there will be differences between countries. (There are even differences between states.) I filed in May. My kids are grown and we will be splitting everything, so my divorce is quite similar to yours. There is still a six-month waiting period, so my divorce won't be final until December.

Same here in California. After you file for divorce you stll have to wait for 6 months before you can record a judgment, if I'm not mistaken.

Randy,

I know I have read that Canada is different than that. I am in MI to, and have run across Candadian Law somewhere. I am trying to find it and will get back to you if I can.

Sorry, it was not quite what I had thought it was. It was a post by a user named realitycheck. Here is what it said:

I don't mean to be rude to you or any other woman here as I am just an occasional browser on this site. Buy, here are a couple of realities:

1. Divorce is expensive, time consuming, and emotionally draining (I'm going through one now).
2. Having said this, most men who leave a marriage are at a financial advantage in terms of income to their ex. Therefore, must enter into a separation agreement which includes in most cases child and spousal support (which can be more than half of their disposable income.
3. In Canada, a divorce is presented legally as an alternative only if the one spouse intends to re-marry and change their name. Otherwise, the only critical and necessary legal document is the separation agreement which in most cases gets reviewed and amended annually.

In short, I think you seem to be suggesting that men do not have the emotional fortitude to pursue divorce even when a relationship is apparently over. I suggest to you that perhaps in many cases it is a financial barrier more so than an emotional one. Just a different perspective. Take it or leave it.
