The length of time does a common 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 mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns have to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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

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

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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes issues 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 an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
