For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 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 however a variety of problems need to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

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

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
