The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has 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 documents.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be fixed.

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

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 sent 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 problems 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 often not a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
