The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. 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 finalize the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

Exactly 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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes 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 a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
