The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however 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 stage or through other official negotiations.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Clayton 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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
