How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

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 submitted.

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

If your divorce includes concerns 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 usually not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
