How Long Does It Take to Get a Divorce If Both Parties Agree in Indiana?

Divorce can feel overwhelming, but when both spouses are in agreement, the process is much faster and easier. In Indiana, the law requires a mandatory 60-day waiting period, but beyond that, how quickly your divorce is finalized depends on how efficiently the paperwork is handled.

At Vining Legal, we help clients navigate uncontested divorces quickly and correctly—ensuring there are no unnecessary delays.

How Quickly Can an Agreed Divorce Be Finalized?

1. File the Divorce Petition

• One spouse must file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in the appropriate county court.

• The other spouse signs and agrees to all terms, making the divorce uncontested.

2. Complete the 60-Day Waiting Period

• Indiana law requires a minimum 60-day waiting period after filing before a divorce can be finalized.

• This period is mandatory and applies to all divorces, even if both parties agree.

3. File Final Paperwork on Day 61

• As soon as the 60-day waiting period ends, the final agreement can be submitted to the court.

• If all paperwork is correctly prepared, the judge can approve the divorce without a hearing in many cases.

✔ Fastest Timeline: Divorce finalized in as little as 60 days if both spouses agree and paperwork is handled efficiently.
✔ Typical Timeline: Around 2-3 months, allowing time for filing and judicial approval.
