How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with 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 need to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complicated 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 Henry 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 legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 often not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
