How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues need to be dealt with.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

What is the distinction 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 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 dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
