For how long does a normal divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Carroll 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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of 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 often not a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
