The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 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 until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Ringgold?

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.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 usually not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
