How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 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 until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems need to be dealt with.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

In case your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more intricate 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 Rossville?

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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully 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 usually not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
