For 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 paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

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

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Bartow County?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

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

If your divorce includes 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 usually not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
