How long does a normal 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, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues require to be resolved.

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

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

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 case 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 a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
