For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of issues require to be fixed.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Albany?

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 situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
