For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

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

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Lithonia?

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 filed.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
