How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 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 mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns need to be resolved.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage 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 submitted 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 alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
