The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait until 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 number of concerns have to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a 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 filed.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes 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 usually not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
