The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues require to be solved.

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

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a 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.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
