The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent 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 paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal 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 finished.

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 divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
