How long does a typical divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns need to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a 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.

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

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
