How long does a common divorce take?

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

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of issues need to be dealt with.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Jonesboro?

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 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 an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
