How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted 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 documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of issues need to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

What is the distinction 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 consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
