The length of time does a normal 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, but the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

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

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

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Lawrenceville?

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 case 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 most likely not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
