How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

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

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

Exactly 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 consists of concerns 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 usually not a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
