The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with 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 however a number of issues have to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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

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 consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
