Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Your question cannot be answered as posted. The time frame for divorces varies immensely by county in Georgia, and the procedures vary greatly, with some cases having hearings and some not having it.

Attorneys can submit orders to a judge but once that happens the time frame is completely up to the judge.

There is no time limit within which the case has to be presented to the judge. The more ususal question is how soon can the case be presented to the judge now that the papers have been signed. That depends on the local court rules.

I agree with Mr. Field, there is no time limit for a judge to sign a final decree. If there is an unusual delay, often the lawyer will call the clerk to check on the status of the decree.
