How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns need to be resolved.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Acworth?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
