For how long does a normal divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of problems need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complicated 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 in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted 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 prices?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
