For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase 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 submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
