How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up until 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 variety of concerns have to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

Exactly what is the distinction 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 issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
