A: Each and every divorce case is different depending on whether children are involved, what assets the spouses have, what debts they owe, whether spousal support is available, etc. In many instances, it also depends on the county, and sometimes the particular court, where your case is pending.

Your divorce attorney can best answer this question based upon the facts, circumstances, and court assignment of your particular divorce case.

Unless the parties diligently prosecute the divorce, your case may be dismissed for want of prosecution.
