The length of time does a common 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, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns have to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes problems 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 often not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
