How long does a common divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems need to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

Exactly 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 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 usually not an alternative. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
