You can try to drag it out but the other party has a right to be divorced and can file papers that will allow the termination of status.

It would depend on where the divorce is. If it has only been filed and no further action you can wait, if it is heading toward trial certain deadlines will apply.

To some degree it is possible to cause a divorce to process more slowly than it could potentially have been prosecuted. However, at least in Michigan, most courts attempt to have any divorce cleared from its docket within one year of the date of filing.

Yes you can drag out a divorce for an extended period of time but why? If its intentional you might get sanctioned by the court and have to pay attorneys fees for the opposing party.

Sometimes a Judge will grant a short delay upon a request if there is a valid reason. The Florida Supreme Court has processing time guidelines and most Judges meet those goals.

It is possible, but it depends on whether there is a legitimate reason to do so and if the court will let you. Some judges will not put up with delay shenanigans.
