For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of issues need to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Cumming?

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.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
