My divorce hearing is approaching


Explanation:
Sin tener mas información, a mi me suena a que se trata de la audiencia. De otra manera me parece que hubiese escrito "Se acerca mi sentencia de divorcio" o algo asi como "se acerca la finalización de mi divorcio"

My divorce trial date is coming up // approaching (see note)


Explanation:
I also suggest the term "divorce hearing date". Both terms are common as can be seen in the websites below:

http://www.co.clark.nv.us/District_Court/Self_Help_Forms/Pac...'divorce%20hearing'

I hope that helps!
