The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. 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 finalize the documents.

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

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage 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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
