How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent 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 documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems need to be fixed.

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

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

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 legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 most likely not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
