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 documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Cobb 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 submitted.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
