How long does a normal 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, however the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

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

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

In case your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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

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 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 spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
