For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle 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 fixed.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Forest Park?

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
