According to the law 962/2005 the divorce in Colombia when we talked about the express divorce was created under the idea that in 2 hours a couple could get divorce in Colombia, however in practice and before covid time was around 15 days.
After the pandemic and due to the difficulties presented in the legal system, you can be expecting the following times for a Colombian express divorce.
Express divorce-mutual agreement no children no assets 30 days.
Express divorce-mutual agreement children and no assets 30 to 60 days. It depends on the social worker assigned to accept the agreement regarding children and the city in which divorce was filled.
Express divorce-mutual agreement children and assets. From 60 to 90 days. It depends on the social worker assigned to accept the agreement regarding children and the city in which divorce was filled plus the time of property records office to study and register the liquidation of assets.
This express divorce or mutual agreement divorce can be done even if one or both spouses are outside Colombia and there is no need for hearings or to appear in Colombia.
I have been representing this type of divorce for 17 years and the experience has been always grateful for clients.
Please, don’t other lawyers tell you that they can get divorce in hours or in some days. Notaries are full and the number of documents from pandemic time, made things slower.
Because every case is unique and if one partner is not Colombian, it is better to have a consultation.
