Quick Divorce

Kansas law requires that the parties wait 60 days after filing for divorce in order to have a final hearing. However, if both parties agree on the terms of the divorce and there is nothing to argue about, some counties will permit the parties to get an emergency divorce. These divorces can take place very quickly, often within a week to ten days.

​

Quick divorces can be obtained in Lyon County.
