How long does a typical 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 submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait until 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 required but a number of concerns need to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Carrollton?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which 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 package?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 often not an alternative. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
