How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns require to be fixed.

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

If your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more complicated 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 in which 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 consists of 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 managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
