For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 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 required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems require to be fixed.

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

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Macon?

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 consists of problems 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 usually not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
