How long does a typical 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 sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

What is the difference 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 submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
