The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of problems have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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 filed.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
