The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems need to be fixed.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

Exactly 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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
