How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

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 case qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
