The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

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

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify under 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 dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
