For how long does a common divorce take?

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

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

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

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Douglas 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 submitted.

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 often not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
