For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

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

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

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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

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 legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
