How long does a common 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 submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of problems need to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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

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 submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
