For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 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 complete the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns need to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

If your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

What is the difference 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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
