If you’re considering divorce in Florida, there’s a mandatory 20-day waiting period after filing before a judge can finalize the case. This short pause is meant to allow time for reflection and, in some cases, reconciliation. Courts may waive the wait in limited circumstances if a delay would cause hardship.
