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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

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

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
