The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

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

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

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which 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 situation doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
