The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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 complete the documents.

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

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

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Gainesville?

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 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
