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 required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final 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 stage or through other official settlements.

What is the distinction 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 filed.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
