The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns require to be resolved.

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

In case your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where 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 under your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
