The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

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

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

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

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Lawrenceville?

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 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 division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
