QUESTION: How long I have to be separated from my husband to get automatically the divorce?
MY RESPONSE:
There is no such thing as an "automatic" divorce.
There are documents that need to be filed and served, there are other documents that need to be exchanged, and it depends upon whether your spouse files a Response, or whether you need to have his Default entered, as to the procedures needed to bring the divorce to a conclusion, whether by way of settlement, trial, or default hearing.
As to when the divorce will be concluded, the earliest possible time would be six months after your spouse is served, but the actual time will be dependent upon who does what and when, as well as whether the case is settled, litigated, or resolved by the Court at a default hearing.
