How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
