For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

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

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

If your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Cherokee County?

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 dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
