The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of issues need to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

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 case qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
