How long does a typical divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of concerns need to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

If your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Rome?

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 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 alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
