The length of time does a common 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, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

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

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

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Cobb 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. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
