How long does a normal divorce take?

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

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

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

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

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 submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
