I filed for divorce in June 2015, and it’s still ongoing. My husband filed a counter petition. What does that mean? How long will it take to finalize the divorce? I want to remarry. We got married in 2007, but have been separated since 2008. He’s now remarried.

Your husband’s counter petition means he is also seeking divorce and may have his own reasons and demands. The duration of your divorce depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, court schedules, and cooperation from both sides. It’s difficult to predict the exact timeline, but you can discuss the possibility of remarriage with your lawyer once the divorce is finalized.
