How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 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 required 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 but a number of problems need to be fixed.

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

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Tucker?

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
