The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

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

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 submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of 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 a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
