The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of issues need to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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

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 case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 challenging to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
