How long does a normal divorce take?

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

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues need to be dealt with.

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

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 submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
