For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 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 finalize the paperwork.

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

On the occasion that 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 resolved.

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 sent 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 situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 usually not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
