How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually 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 settle the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems have to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
