The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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 finalize the documents.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be fixed.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

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

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

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case 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 challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
