The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of problems need to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Smyrna?

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 case qualify?

If your divorce consists of 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 most likely not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
