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, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be solved.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

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 submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes 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 challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
