The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required 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 final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns need to be solved.

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

Exactly 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 submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 usually not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
