How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. 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 complete the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of issues have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.
