The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

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

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Suwanee?

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 submitted.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce includes issues 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 often not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
