The easiest type of divorce, which takes the least amount of time, is called an uncontested divorce. If you're able to quickly come to an agreement with your spouse about alimony and division of property, your divorce can proceed through divorce court rather quickly.
Grounds for Divorce After filing no-fault, you will be subjected to a 90-day waiting period before a judge will sign off on the divorce. Even with the waiting period, filing no-fault is quicker than filing on fault-based grounds (i.e. adultery, desertion, cruelty, bigamy, etc.).
