For how long does a normal 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 settle the documentation.

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

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Carroll 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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
