How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait till 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 required but a number of concerns have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Valdosta?

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 situation qualify?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
