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 documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

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 concerns need to be fixed.

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

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent 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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
