How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till 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 final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be dealt with.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

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 submitted.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
