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, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues require to be fixed.

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

What is the distinction 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 submitted.

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 a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
