It often depends on which county is chosen to handle the divorce. I can get it done in about 4 months in Manhattan. In Brooklyn it could take a year.

You have a case for a divorce based upon your wife's abandonment. While it depends on the County, you should be divorced between 4 mos to a year. This assumes that your wife is going to agree to an uncontested divorce and sign all necessary documents.

If your wife does not contest (objects) the divorce, usually it takes between 4-6 months, in Brooklyn.

You might not your wife's consent, as long as she does not object affirmatively. You can contact our firm if you need assistance.
