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 sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues require to be resolved.

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

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complicated 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 case qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
