The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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 up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of problems need to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Winder?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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 dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
