melbourne fl, how long to get a court date with no childen

If the case is contested, it takes approximately 1 year from the date the Petition is filed through the trial date, if there are no delays. However, if there are temporary issues that need to be heard, such as timeshare and child support, a temporary relief hearing may be requested early in the case.   If the case is uncontested, you can get a court date within a few weeks after an agreement resolving all issues is signed.
