For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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 complete the paperwork.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

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

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 divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
