How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait till 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 required but a number of concerns need to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that 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 finished.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where 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 situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
