The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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 mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of concerns have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation 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 often not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
