How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of concerns need to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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

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 situation qualify?

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