How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 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 paperwork.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of problems require to be resolved.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Rome?

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