For how long does a common 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 submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official 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 includes problems 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 quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
