For how long 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, but 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 however a variety of issues need to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

If your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more intricate 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 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 legally considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify for 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 option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
