The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 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 finalize the documents.

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Douglasville?

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 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 most likely not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
