You can Petition for Divorce the very same day. There is no waiting period as long as you have lived in the same State of 6 months and the same county for 3 months. If you have moved during that time period then you would have to wait until the residency requirement are met.

One day. You must live in the state 6 months and the county 3 months. If marriage so short will the other party agree, if so the easiest is a summary dissolution.

You do not have to wait. Also, depending upon your circumstances, you may be eligible for an annulment. You should consult a family law attorney to review all of the facts and advise you.
