How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait 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 needed but a variety of issues have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

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

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 filed.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes problems 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 often not an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
