How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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 required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues require to be resolved.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Griffin?

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
