The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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 required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
