How long 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 sent 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 documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce includes 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 most likely not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
