How long does a common 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, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems need to be resolved.

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

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the distinction 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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of issues 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 most likely not an alternative. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
