How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

In case your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted 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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
