How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required 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 hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues need to be solved.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

If your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

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 items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
