The length of time does a common divorce take?

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

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

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

If your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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

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 legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case 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 most likely not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
