The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent 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.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns have to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted 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 case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce includes problems 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 usually not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
