For 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 required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

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

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal 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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 usually not a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
