For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

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

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 division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
