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

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

If your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

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. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of 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 often not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
