How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required 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 needed however a variety of issues need to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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 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 includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
