How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of issues have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

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

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 situation qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
