For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

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

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

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

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 case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
