How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of problems have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal 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 or perhaps longer to be resolved.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Spalding County?

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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
