The length of time 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 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 finalize 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 require to be solved.

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

In the event that your spouse 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 finalized.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Powder Springs?

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 problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
