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, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns need to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official 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 submitted 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 division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
