For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of problems have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, 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 Mableton?

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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of 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 a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
