For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

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

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

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
