The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 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 required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns need to be resolved.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal 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 consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
