How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

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 submitted 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 situation doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
