How long does a normal divorce take?

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

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 concerns need to be resolved.

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

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more complicated 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 where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
