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, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official 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 concerns 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 usually not a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
