The length of time does a common 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 sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of concerns need to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

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 submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

Why doesn't my divorce 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 usually not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
