The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps 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 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 case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee rates?

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