How long does a common 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 submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

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

A number of cases are resolved 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 case qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 usually not a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
