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 submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up until 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 required but a number of issues require to be resolved.

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

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

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

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 situation qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
