For how long does a normal divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems 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 often not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
