How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems have to be resolved, 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.

In the event that 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 finalized.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Rossville?

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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
