For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated 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 however 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.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
