How long does a common divorce take?

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

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues require to be resolved.

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

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible 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 Riverdale?

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 filed. All other cases are lawfully 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 spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
