This is one of the most common questions asked, and the most difficult to answer.  Once you file for divorce in Texas, there is a sixty (60) day waiting period before your divorce can be finalized.  However, obtaining a divorce that quickly is extremely rare.  Most divorces involve children, assets and debt.  Sometimes all three aspects are contested, and in that instance, your case could go on for many months.  Parties are often able to reach an agreement, either on their own, or through mediation.
