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 sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

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 problems need to be dealt with.

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

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

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

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 filed. 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 alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
