How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 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 until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of problems need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

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

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.

How come my case doesn't qualify for 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 property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
