How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however 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 required however a number of problems require to be solved.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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

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 legally considered contested divorces.

How come my situation doesn't qualify under your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
