Usually, the eviction process takes a little bit over a month, as follows. Approximately fourteen days from filing of the summary ejectment until the hearing at the small claims court. Ten days from date of hearing at the small claims court until the filing of writ of possession or the expiry of the appeals period.
To begin the eviction process, the landlord must file a Magistrate's Summons and a Complaint in Summary Ejectment with the Clerk of Court. In most cases, the landlord must give the tenant advance notice to end the lease or make a demand for past-due rent before starting the eviction process.
If your ex-spouse no longer lives in Georgia and you need to file a contempt for custody or visitation against your ex-spouse, you must seek the advice of an attorney, unless your ex-spouse can be personally served while in Georgia with a copy of your petition that was filed in Georgia.
The landlord cannot remove the tenant from the home until the appeal period has ended, whether or not the tenant appeals the case. Once the 10 days have passed, the landlord can return to court and ask the clerk for an order called a ?Writ of Possession,? which allows the sheriffs to padlock the home.
The Motion must be EFiled. You can come into the Clerks office to use an EFile hub provided at no additional cost. PAYING THE FILING FEE: If the contempt is on Non-Payment of Child Support, Alimony or Medical expenses, the filing fee is waived.
