How long does a common divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Coweta County?

An uncontested divorce case is one where 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 case qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
