How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. 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 but a number of concerns have to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal 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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
