For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 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 until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

What is the distinction 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 filed.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes 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 a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
