How long does a no fault divorce take?

How long does a no fault divorce take and what are the timeframes?

In a no fault divorce, there is a minimum timeframe of 20 weeks between the application date and the Conditional Order. This has been introduced to allay concerns that getting a divorce will be made quicker and easier and that it encourages couples not to try and work on their marriages.

There will then be a minimum of 6 weeks between the Conditional Order and the Final Order.
