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

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

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated 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 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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
