For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 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 until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues need to be dealt with.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Cherokee County?

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 situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of 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 a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
