For 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 required 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 documents.

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

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Atlanta?

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 situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 alternative. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
