How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 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 mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
