The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

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

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

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

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 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 challenging to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
