How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of problems need to be fixed.

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

If your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

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. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
