The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety 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 Henry 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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
