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 submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems need to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

What is the distinction 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 filed.

How come my case 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 property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
