The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait 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 but a variety of issues need to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complicated 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 Coweta County?

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. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify for 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 dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
