For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

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

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

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Dekalb County?

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 submitted.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
