For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues need to be resolved.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Albany?

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my situation doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
