The length of time 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 required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns require to be solved.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or 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 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 property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
