For how long does a common divorce take?

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

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 issues need to be dealt with.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 often not an alternative. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
