For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with 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 documentation.

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

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

In case your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Fulton 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. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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 items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
