How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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.

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

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

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Lilburn?

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 dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
