If you have a Consent to Try then the soonest you will be able to finalize your divorce is 30 days after the date of filing. It could take longer depending on what county you are in and whether or not there are children as issue of your marriage.

The answer will be different in each of Georgia's 159 counties, and will also depend on whether there arechildren, and if a consent to try has been signed. The earliest it can be heard is 30 days after filing.

The soonest it can be final is 30 days after filing of the Complaint. You still need to find a judge willing to get it signed that quickly.
