IF THE HUSBAND IS ABUSIVE, CAN A DIVORCE BE EXPEDITED TO TAKE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS?

QUESTION: My friend’s husband is currently deployed but before he deployed he was always abusive and disorderly towards his wife and the kids they have. He's caused nothing but trouble towards her, he's cheated on her several times, and currently as he's deployed he refuses to give her money. Is there anyway to get a divorce within at least a month?

MY RESPONSE: No. The earliest time that the marriage could be dissolved would be six months after the husband was served. If he is in the military, he could possibly delay the divorce due to legislation protecting military servicemembers on active duty.
