The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

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

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

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 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 division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
