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 documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Butts 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 filed.

Why doesn't my case 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
