For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with required 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 documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of issues need to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Rockdale County?

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 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 most likely not an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
