How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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 mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

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

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

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

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 spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
