The length of time does a typical 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, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

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

A number of cases are resolved 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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
