For how long does a normal divorce take?

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

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

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

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

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

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 filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
