The divorce process begins with the filing of a petition for dissolution of marriage. John Doe or Jane Doe would need to provide details about their marriage, any children involved, and the grounds for the divorce. From there, the court will set a hearing to address issues like asset division, child custody, and alimony.

The duration of a divorce can vary depending on the complexity of the case and whether the parties are able to reach an agreement. In general, an uncontested divorce can be finalized in as little as 60 days, while a more complex, contested divorce may take several months or even a year or more to resolve.

The most common grounds for divorce in this state are irreconcilable differences, adultery, and cruelty. John Doe or Jane Doe would need to provide evidence to support the grounds they are citing in their divorce petition.
