How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with required paperwork. 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 settle the paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

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 submitted.

Why doesn't my case 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
