How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 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 till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

If a 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 number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

If your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Kennesaw?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is sent 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 includes issues 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 most likely not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
