How long does a common divorce take?

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

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues need to be solved.

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

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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

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 includes concerns 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 often not a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
