How long does a common divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Hinesville?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
