For 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 paperwork. 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 finalize the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

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 situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
