The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted 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 paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Albany?

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.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes 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 an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
