The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent 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 documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues have 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 settlements.

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes 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 usually not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
