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 documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait until 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 hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns need to be resolved.

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

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 filed.

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 division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
