The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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 mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number 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 phase or through other formal settlements.

What is the distinction 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 filed.

Why doesn't my situation 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 property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
