The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or 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 where 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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
