For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

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

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

In case your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Buford?

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. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
