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 sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of issues need to be dealt with.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the difference 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 case qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
