How long does a normal divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of concerns have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

If your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complex 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 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 situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
