Frequently Asked Questions
What are the residency requirements for divorce in Washington DC?
At least one spouse must have lived in the District of Columbia for a minimum of six months immediately before filing for divorce. This requirement is strictly enforced by the DC Superior Court.
How long does a divorce take in Washington DC?
An uncontested divorce in DC can be finalized in as little as 60 days from the date of filing. Contested divorces often take much longer, sometimes six months to a year or more, depending on the complexity of issues like property division and child custody.
Is DC a no-fault divorce jurisdiction?
Yes, the District of Columbia is a no-fault divorce jurisdiction. The only ground for divorce is that the marriage is irretrievably broken, meaning there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. You do not need to prove adultery or cruelty.
