I’m wondering if you can ask if anyone has ever heard of a divorce taking over 2 years? And still not being final? He is telling me the lawyer has one more documents to submit but he said it was final a few months ago. Something just doesn’t feel right.

Request a hearing with the judge and ask what’s going on n what the one document is

Sounds like he is making the process that long by not completing paperwork on time . He’s hanging on for hope lol
Mine was submitted on May 5 I was divorced may 10. My husband now separated from his ex in Oct 2013 and she drug it out til 2015/2016 because she didn’t want to work and wanted to take everything from him and make him pay for it.
My friends divorce took almost 3 years.
I know of one that took almost 10 years. He kept filing appeal after appeal and holding anything related to the kids over her head. He might be keeping it held up in court I would contact your attorney or the court and ask what is going on.
Mine took 3 years. He drug it out. It’s not final until all the paperwork is done and final and you have both signed the same documents
Definitely depends on the situation and if children/property/etc. are involved. Can definitely take much longer if one party also doesn’t want the divorce and fights for any and everything they can.
Im still not divorced 3 yrs later💀
Depends on if you are the soon-to-be Ex or the new lady in his life. If you are the soon to be Ex ask your lawyer. If the new lady-go with your gut and confront him or get out of the relationship. (Just my opinion)

Mine’s been going on a year and a half now🙃
My dad’s divorce has been getting postponed due to “covid”.
From the time I filed it took 6 months. It can take 6 months to a year for a court date to finalize it. However if you have alot of things your fighting over it takes longer.
It depends on the situation. Mine has taken almost a year because the judge keeps denying it. She is denying it because I am not giving him enough parenting time, however, the parenting time was court ordered. It makes absolutely no sense.
My parents split when I was 18 months, they didn’t get divorced until I was 15. He was never let back in the house and he cheated and still he found ways to mess up papers and loopholes. He died 9 months later and my mom was like “really? All that just to go and leave?” (Dark humor) my sisters divorce took 6 years and that was with no issues from either party.
My daughter was born in 2018 I filed a month after her birth… it’s now almost 2022 and I’m still not divorced lol ours is in agreement but he hasn’t filled out his financial affidavit and hasn’t went to mediation to determine visitations and rules and such… I called my lawyer, and he is filing a mention to go ahead with the final hearing and said if he don’t have it filled out then he can explain it to the judge so yeah… mine may be finally coming to an end.

Over 5 years for my husband and his ex
My friend is going on 10 yrs 
depends on people, situations, assets
My my ex husband and I filled out papers together filed them together. Got the court date the day we filed them. Went to court together 20 days later.
My stepdads divorce took 7 years
Mine took a year because he kept dragging it out so he didnt have to pay me the child support that was alloted. He wouldn’t sign. Kept wanting things changed and he still ended up with things exactly how they were in the end cause i had a lawyer and i filed, he didnt. So my lawyer was tired of waiting on him and had him served the final paperwork with no more changes or he would have to pay for changes himself since it was him wanting them and she was representing me. He signed them and that was that. Took a whole year. Court date came and i didnt have to appear because i had the lawyer and he didn’t so he had to appear. It couldve been done in a month even with 4 kids and assets. He just refused to sign.
I filed in March and still freaking married 
he won’t sign nothing. And won’t comply with child support. Idk how long this is gonna take.
Yep it can take a while.
Mine took 4 years but that’s bc my ex wouldn’t cooperate.

My bf’s lawyer told him it would take 6 months and because he refused to get his act together, (the lawyer) it has been almost 3 years. Had he done what he said it should’ve been finished the first year. And his ex has gotten pregnant twice since then so that extended things even longer.
Where i live theres a lawyer that does it all for you and you dont have to go to court and the most it takes to finalize is 30 days
Mine took 3 years of fighting before it finalized because I didnt want to pay him the alimony he was requesting along with other things. I finally gave up half of what he wanted monthly, our house and half my retirement to finalize it. Never imagined I’d pay over 20k to get divorced in fees
Mine was exactly 6 months from the day he was “served.” It was a non contested divorce in CA. We went through a paralegal. I’m regretting going that route now.
Took me from 2012 to 2016 because he was refusing to sign. And I was too afraid of him to fight back😒
Sounds like he is dragging it out by not finishing what he needs to do. Seems to me he’s telling you it’s the lawyer but it’s most likely him. A divorce only takes that long if the people divorcing can’t agree. Otherwise it should be quick. My ex and I handled our divorce ourselves and only took a few months.
If you guys have nothing to fight about… take about 2 to 3 months… his dragging it… keeping his options open… why don’t you also file…
