Divorce lawyer at Paula J. McGill Law Offices
It all depends on a number of  factors. If you are seeking an uncontested divorce, you may be able to obtain a hearing within 31 days after filing.  An uncontested divorce means the spouses agree to all terms.  If there is a dispute on any issue, it is not an uncontested divorce and the time frame for obtaining a divorce will be extended.  When you file a contested divorce, a temporary hearing can be requested to address temporary spousal support, visitation, custody, and possession of the marital residence.  The judge's calendar and the ability to serve the respondent spouse will dictate the timing of the temporary hearing.   The judge can also order mediation or you can request mediation.  Mediation may resolve all the disputed issues and push the timetime up  for obtaining a divorce.  Otherwise, it may take upwards of 9 months to a year (if not longer) from filing to final hearing to obtain a divorce.  Six months is taken up with discovery.  If there are multiple disputes with minor children, the process can be very long.

How do you respond when served with divorce papers in jail?

The same way he would do it if he weren't in jail. He answers each allegation as true and false and sends the original to the court and a copy to the wife or her attorney.
