How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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 complete the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
