The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 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 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 required however a number of issues have to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

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

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 property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
