For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of problems have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage 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 submitted.

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

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
