For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 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 till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

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

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

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

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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
