Divorce case in arguments—how long for ex-parte order?

My divorce case, filed by my wife in 2021, has been ongoing. I never appeared because I wanted it to be ex-parte. Now, the case status is “Arguments.” What can happen next, and how long might it take to become ex-parte?

Since you did not appear, the court may take some time before granting ex-parte divorce. The next step is usually the final hearing where the court hears arguments. If your wife appears and argues, it may delay. Consult your lawyer to speed up the process or decide if you want to appear. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
