The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of problems need to be resolved.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

What is the difference 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 situation qualify?

If your divorce includes problems 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 a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
