For how long does a normal divorce take?

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

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems require to be solved.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase 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 consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
