For how long does a common divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of problems need to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

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 submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
