Can anyone give me and idea of how long it takes to be divorced if mediation goes well.
I very much doubt mine will be settled by mediation but one can always hope.

It's different everywhere copout. For me, it wasn't court ordered mediation. My XH and I chose to go to a divorce mediator to help us write up the sep agreement. We did that in about 5 visits because he didn't have his brain, it was in the OW's lap. We did the mediation in June/July, signed the papers by mid August, I had the papers in my hand and mortgage in my name by Sept 3.

The next summer I filed the D papers. He was a bit upset I filed with Adultery as the reason, but eventually signed, and I was divorced for Christmas.

I had court-ordered mediation because the courts are so busy here anyone who does not come up with a settlement on their own prior to their court date has to do mediation.

Mediation was on a Thursday, we came to an agreement somewhere around 5:30 PM, and as soon as it was signed my attorney told me we'd be going to the judge first thing the next morning with the agreement. So the next day I stood before the judge and got to hear the words "Divorce granted."
