For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes 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 alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
