How Long Does Divorce Take In Georgia?
Divorce timelines in Georgia can vary depending on several factors. In a typical, uncontested divorce, where spouses agree on all major issues, such as property division, child custody (if applicable) and alimony, the process can be resolved in as little as six months to a year. However, this time frame can easily stretch out over years if any disputes cannot be resolved.
Disagreements are the main culprit for delays. These can arise over various aspects of the divorce settlement, including the equitable distribution of marital assets (houses, cars, retirement accounts), child custody schedules (visitation rights, decision-making authority) and spousal support (alimony). The more complex the financial situation or the more contentious the child custody arrangements, the longer it will take to reach an agreement. Mediation or court appearances may become necessary in these cases, further extending the timeline.
While some may be tempted to forgo legal counsel to expedite the process, this often backfires. Our experienced divorce lawyer can navigate the legal intricacies of divorce, ensuring a fair and comprehensive settlement that protects your interests. He can also effectively manage communication and negotiations, potentially saving time and emotional distress in the long run.
Assisting You With Post-Judgment Modifications
No matter how well-crafted a divorce agreement is, unexpected circumstances can make it difficult to follow the terms of your custody or support agreement.
Jeff regularly advocates for clients in post-divorce matters that include:
- Relocations
- Modifications to child support orders
- Modifications to child custody orders
- Modification of other divorce and custody matters for minor children
Jeff also represents parents seeking enforcement orders for custody and support violations.
