For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait 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 variety of issues need to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Columbus?

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 dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
