The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 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 settle the paperwork.

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

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

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 filed.

Why doesn't my situation 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 an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
