For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues need to be dealt with.

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

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complex 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 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 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
