For how long does a common 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 until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues need to be fixed.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

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

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 filed.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
