How long does a common divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

If your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible 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 Decatur?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce 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 most likely not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
