The length of time does a normal 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 sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

A case may 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 variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

If your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Forsyth County?

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. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 most likely not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
