How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent 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.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems need to be dealt with.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually 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.
