How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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 mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of problems need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
