For how long does a normal divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of issues have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

If your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted 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 case qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 often not an alternative. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
