How long does a common 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 submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

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 require to be solved.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

In case your spouse 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.

What is the distinction 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 legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
