How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait 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 required however a variety of problems have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Buford?

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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
