How long does a common divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

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

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 submitted. All other cases are legally 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 tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
