How long does a common divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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

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 situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
