The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent 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 documents.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems require to be dealt with.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Powder Springs?

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 situation qualify?

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