The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of problems have to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a 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.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 often not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
