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 paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

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

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

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complicated 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 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 option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
