How quickly can I be divorced?

In Pennsylvania, generally, the quickest way to obtain a divorce is through an uncontested no-fault proceeding. An uncontested no-fault divorce can be obtained after a 90-day waiting period has expired, provided the parties have taken the proper steps to distribute all of their marital property. The 90-day waiting period commences as soon as the complaint for divorce is filed and served on the other party. The time for entry of a decree of divorce can be longer, depending on the willingness of the other party to cooperate.
