The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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 finalize the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems need to be fixed, 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.

In case your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complicated 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 Clayton 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 rates?

If your divorce includes problems 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 often not an option. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
