The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

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

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

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the difference 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 legally 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 property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
