The length of time does a common 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 submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of issues need to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Coweta County?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent 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 divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
