How long does a typical divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

What is the difference 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 submitted.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of 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 often not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
