Good Credit after Bankruptcy Timeline
By law, a bankruptcy filing may stay on your credit report for ten years. It may not be on your report longer than 10 years. You also have the right to include a written statement on your credit report explaining any item, including a bankruptcy. Anyone who has filed for bankruptcy probably had delinquent payments, a foreclosure, or a repossession prior to the bankruptcy. Your credit probably at this point is already bad. A bankruptcy will not give you good credit, but it can allow you to look ahead towards reestablishing yourself and getting credit in the future. Your life after the bankruptcy is one of the most important aspects in regaining a good credit standing. You must endeavor to have no other credit problems, make sure you stay current on any debts you keep after the bankruptcy. If all is well from two to five years, you then may pursue getting credit through conventional means.

Divorce Timeline
If you are in agreement with your spouse, the whole divorce process should take no more than sixty days depending on what county you are in. In some counties you can be divorced in 30 days. The actual hearing should take no more than five minutes or so. Typically the Judge calls your name, "Jones vs Jones" and you bring yourself up in front of the podium. The Judge will usually ask you if you have been a Florida resident for more than six months and if your marriage is truly irretrievably broken.
