How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated 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 required but a number of issues need to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Tucker?

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 case qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
