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 paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

In case your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Carroll 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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes concerns 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 often not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
