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 documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of issues need to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

If your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. 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 spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
