The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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 mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems need to be fixed.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more intricate 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 Hephzibah?

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
