For 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 paperwork. 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 settle the paperwork.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems need to be solved.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

Exactly what is the distinction 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 filed.

How come my situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
