How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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 mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of problems need to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Acworth?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
