For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 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 up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

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 problems need to be fixed.

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

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

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
