How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with 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 hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns have to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Atlanta?

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 divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
