For how long does a common divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

Exactly 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 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 package?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 most likely not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
