The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. 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 finalize the paperwork.

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

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Forest Park?

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 divorce 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
