How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait till 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 problems need to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

Exactly what is the distinction 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 problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
