How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted 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 final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of problems need to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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

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.

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

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