How long does a typical 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 sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

In the event that your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems 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 often not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
