For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

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 fixed.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and 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. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

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