How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 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 required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

What is the distinction 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 submitted.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 often not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
