The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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, however the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of concerns need to be fixed.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

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

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. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

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