For 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 documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till 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 number of problems have to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

What is the difference 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 consists of 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 often not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
