The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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 up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns need to be resolved.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Rockdale County?

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes issues 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 challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
