The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues require to be solved.

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

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

What is the distinction 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 filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
