The length of time 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 submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

If your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and 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. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 most likely not a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
