For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted 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 paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

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 filed.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
