For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues need to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

If your spouse 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.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Henry County?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted 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 case qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
