For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but 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 but a variety of problems have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Rome?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
