How long does a typical divorce take?

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

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems require to be dealt with.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where 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 case qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
