For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of concerns require to be fixed.

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

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

Exactly 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 submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
