The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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 till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of problems require to be dealt with.

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

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 submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 usually not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
