How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 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 up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

Exactly what is the difference 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 concerns 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 most likely not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
