For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 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 complete the documentation.

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

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

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 case qualify?

If your divorce consists of 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 often not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
