How long does a typical divorce take?

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

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns need to be resolved.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes problems 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 alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
