The length of time does a common 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 sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of concerns have 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 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 filed.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 most likely not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
