For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

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

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Lilburn?

An uncontested divorce case is one where 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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
