How long does a normal divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of concerns need to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

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

If your divorce includes concerns 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 usually not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
