Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a divorce take?
The amount of time it takes to get a divorce in Missouri depends upon the issues of the case. If it is a non-contested matter and both parties cooperate with each other, your divorce can be resolved in 90 to 120 days after it is filed. I will do everything possible to have your case resolved as soon as reasonably possible.
