How long does a common divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of problems need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable 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 Clayton 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 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 usually not a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
