For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 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 mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of issues need to be resolved, 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.

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Butts County?

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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
