How long does a common divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Buford?

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 alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
