How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till 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 needed however a number of issues have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal 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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes issues 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 hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
