The length of time 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 sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns need to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

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

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
