How long does a common divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Stone Mountain?

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 issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
