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 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 complete the documents.

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

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

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 includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
