Laws current as of December 12, 2023 Is there any way to do a divorce quickly?
If both spouses reach a settlement of all issues before either party files for divorce or legal separation, the parties may jointly file a petition for divorce in a “summary consent decree proceeding.” The petition states that all issues are resolved by agreement.1 After 60 days, the court can enter a “summary consent decree,” issuing a divorce without a hearing, if the judge has determined that the parties have met the requirements.2
