The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Carrollton?

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 submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
