How long does a typical divorce take?

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

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues require to be solved.

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

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent 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 situation qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
