How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of problems need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

If your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Smyrna?

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 consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
