For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 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 up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems require to be resolved.

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

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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

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. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
