For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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 complete the paperwork.

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 problems need to be dealt with.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Albany?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

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

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