The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

Why doesn't my divorce 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 property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
