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 documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Carrollton?

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. 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 dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
