How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. 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 documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of problems need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

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 submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
