The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 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 complete the documents.

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 problems require to be resolved.

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

If your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

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

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 usually not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
