For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems need to be solved.

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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

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

If your divorce consists of problems 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 an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
