mine took less than a year i think - but there were no kids involved and no house (or money) to split

zippitippitoes · 04/03/2006 13:56

I think the quickest is 3-4 months

desperateSCOUSEwife · 04/03/2006 14:01

mine was 3 months to get decree nisi, 2 months after I received the absolute
both agreed
was 10yrs ago, dont know if the system has changed.

jenniferjuniper · 04/03/2006 14:03

have checked and mine was 5 months but think it was delayed a little as xp was being stroppy over whether he had to name his bit on the side or not !!

zippitippitoes · 04/03/2006 14:04

there is a compulsory 6 weeks between the nisi and th absolute otherwise it depends on the solicitors/parties concerned how quickly they process the documents and you can speed it up if the solicitor transfers papers rather than waiting for the court

is there a reason you want it to be quick?

aaa doormat here
I went straight to maiden name the day i filed for divorce.
didnt have to fill anything in, just notify bank, bills etc of my intentions and they were all fine.

NomDePlume · 04/03/2006 14:18

My Mum is technically still married to my father, despite the fact that they've been separated for 20 years ! She reverted to her maiden name straight away, too. No legal papers needed.

desperateSCOUSEwife · 04/03/2006 17:13

I just went in and told them I was getting divorced blah blah and said I had reverted back to maiden name
they did it there and then
but as I said this was 10yrs ago, things might have changed since
but still worth a try
good luck babe
