For how long does a common divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

If your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

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

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 filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of 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 a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
