How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated 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 hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues need to be dealt with.

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

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Carroll County?

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.

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 division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
