How long does it take for a couple to get a civil divorce in Israel ?

This depends on the particular religious affiliation of each spouse in the 'mixed' marriage union, and the degree of co-operation between them. The longest dissolution of marriage cases are those involving one Roman Catholic spouse (where baptism certificates are required and often difficult to obtain). The shortest are those where one or both spouses have with no registered religion or are affiliated to a religion which is not recognized in Israel and has no recognized religious court (e.g. Anglican Christian) and they agree to divorce – the process can take just a few months.
