How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually 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 complete the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues require to be fixed.

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

In case your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

What is the difference 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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
