The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues have to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

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 filed.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
