How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. 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 documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of issues need to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
