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 submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal 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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
