For how long does a common divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of problems have to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage 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 submitted 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 problems 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 an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
