How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete 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 concerns require to be fixed.

A number of cases are fixed 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 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 spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
