How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with 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 complete the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

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

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 consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
