How long does a typical 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 sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns have to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number 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 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 situation qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
