The length of time does a typical 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 sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of problems require to be solved.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

If your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Augusta?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
