If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of issues have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety 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 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 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 often not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
