The length of time does a common 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, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of issues need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Peachtree City?

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 dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
