How long does a typical divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Jonesboro?

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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
