The length of time does a typical 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 until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of problems need to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

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

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

How come my divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
