How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of concerns need to be solved.

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

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Dalton?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 usually not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
