For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns need to be fixed.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

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

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Decatur?

An uncontested divorce case is one where 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 divorce 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 dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
