The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

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 concerns require to be resolved.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

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

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Buford?

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 rates?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
