The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with 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 finalize the documentation.

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 problems need to be solved.

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

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent 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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 most likely not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
