Deadline calculators
The earliest date a court may grant a divorce, counted from the date the petition was filed.
Earliest date the divorce may be granted
Sunday, January 10, 2027
The court may not grant a divorce before the 60th day after the suit was filed. This is the earliest possible date, not the date a divorce will be granted.
This date falls on a weekend, when courts are usually closed.
No waiting period in family violence cases
The waiting period does not apply if the court finds the respondent was finally convicted of or received deferred adjudication for family violence against the petitioner or a household member, or the petitioner has an active protective order or magistrate’s emergency protection order based on family violence during the marriage.
These calculators count days from the Family Code text and the dates you enter. They do not count court holidays, local rules, or the terms of your specific order, which controls. Legal information, not legal advice.
