The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 most likely not an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
