The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be solved.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Covington?

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
