How long does a common divorce take?

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

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns require to be solved.

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

If your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where 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 includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
