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 documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

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

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your spouse 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 finalized.

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

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
