How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 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 complete the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of problems need to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Gwinnett 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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
