The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has 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 finalize the documents.

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

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

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 filed.

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 items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
