The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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, but the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

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

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

If your partner 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 Roswell?

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 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 most likely not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
