The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues need to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Cherokee County?

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 case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
