Hello
I had a trial for my divorce in January , it was a half day trial but the judge told us he will send us his decision now it's May and still nothing , I called the secretary but still pending, should I just wait, I also been hearing this judge may be moving to a different department and he only have 2 and half weeks till he move, what if he doesn't sign my divorce decree do I have to redo the whole divorce case again or is there a away to make the judge finish my case ,
Please advise
Thank you
Unfortunately, sometimes these things take a while. 4 months is a long time. The judge will eventually get to it. Probably in the very near future. There is nothing you can do to speed up the process. You will not have to redo the whole case.

I understand your frustration. Every lawyer can probably share a similar story. If the judge is moving divisions, he will probably try and clear his former docket before starting at a new division. Be patient.
This question poses an interesting situation that is more common than you think. How long is too long? There is very scant authority on this matter, and I have researched it several times. It turns out that there's one court decision that says even a delay of six months is not unreasonable! Unfortunately, the only remedy you have is to file a petition for an extraordinary writ, and I don't recommend this action. Your best course is to be patient.
