For how long does a normal 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 sent 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 documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns have to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Paulding 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.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
