How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

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 case qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
