The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however 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 may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns need to be solved.

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

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

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

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of 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 most likely not a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
