The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent 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.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of issues need to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
