For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up 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 final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of problems need to be resolved.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Peachtree City?

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 case qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
