How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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 mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

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

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

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

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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes issues 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 an option. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
