How long does a common divorce take?

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

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

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

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Gainesville?

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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 often not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
