How long does a divorce take to be finalized?

katgrl asked:


OK we didn’t get a lawyer because we are filing a joint petition, non-contested dissolution. His aunt, who works for the prosecuting attorney, is helping us with all the paperwork. We have been separated for 13 months now. We finally got all the paperwork finalized and now need to file it. Any ideas how long it might take to be finalized? We live in MO. We have no children; it should be a very simple and easy divorce.

    Depends on how the court is organized and the work load and many other factors. Could be 20 minutes and could be many months.
