Yup, in NC you could be married for no time at all and there's a 1 year no-cohabitation-before-filing waiting period. Plus, there's a ton of paperwork to track down and submit, from parties who may be more or less willing to look for and provide, plus complications regarding child custody, child support, alimony, division of assets, etc.
In CA there are no real deadlines. You file paperwork, then the other party needs to file some etc. etc. - but there is no time limit, so I guess people forget or delay in purpose. I think alot of people bury their head because it is painful to do, so they push it off. The other person doesn't want to be a d*ck and be pushy ... And so time passes
Okay, technically they are still married but they were together a year when one of them filed for divorce and its been about 20 months and still nothing.
Seems like there should be a period after which you can declare a marriage done.
Parents is going on two years.
Was supposed to be finalized this summer but would get bumped for cases involving children.

Shared assets, houses, investments, children, cars etc. if. Divorced my wife it would he at least a year before it was finalized. If not more. Even if it was amicable We would not just sell assets to the first shark that came along.
Hm. Op seems to have strong feelings on the issue. You waiting for one of them?
Perhaps one or both are dragging their feet and are unsure if they really want a divorce. It's a short marriage, there should be a lot of assets to divide.

There can be many reasons why. Maybe there are kids and they are reluctant to take the plunge. Sometimes one partner may drag things out to make it difficult. Maybe things drag out due to financial reasons. It's not always cut and dry. There are many shades and circumstances that would warrant divorce taking time.

I was married 18 months when I left. He fought me another 5 years in court. We have been divorced almost 9 years and he still does something once a year that affects me. He still refuses to take his truck out of my name. I can’t figure out his motives. He has a new woman, kid and another 5 cars. Yet he holds onto the truck in my name.
