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 mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems require to be resolved.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Covington?

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 filed.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
