For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of problems have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

What is the distinction 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 case 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
