How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

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

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 submitted.

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

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
