The length of time does a common divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Fulton County?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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 division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
