In principle on all cases, you must wait at least 60 days before finishing your divorce.
When counting the 60 days, find the day you filed your Original Petition for Divorce on a calendar, and then count out 60 more days (including weekends and holidays). If the 60th day falls on a weekend or holiday, go to the next business day.
Note: The 60-day waiting period begins the day after filing the Original Petition for Divorce.
There are two exceptions to the 60 day waiting period.
If your spouse has been convicted of or received deferred adjudication for a crime involving family violence against you or a member of your household, the 60 day waiting period is waived.
If you have an active protective order or an active magistrate’s order for emergency protection against your spouse because of family violence during your marriage, the 60 day waiting period is waived.
