How long 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, however the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of concerns have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

In case your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Chatsworth?

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes issues 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 most likely not an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
