For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up 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 issues need to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

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

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.

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

If your divorce consists of problems 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 often not an alternative. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
