The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues need to be resolved.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Chatsworth?

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 legally 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 division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
