The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be resolved.

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

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or 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 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 dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
