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 up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of issues have to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

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 a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
