For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but 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 might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems need to be solved.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

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

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 case 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 tough to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
