A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of issues require to be dealt with.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Clayton County?

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
