The length of time 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, however the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of concerns have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even 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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
