The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

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

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

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

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 filed.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes 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 usually not an alternative. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
