For how long does a common divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of concerns have to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal 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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
