For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till 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 but a variety of issues have to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that your partner 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 finished.

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

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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

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