The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 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 mandated to wait till 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 concerns have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety 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 Spalding County?

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 situation 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 often not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
