For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required 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 but a number of issues have to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a 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 submitted.

How come my situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
