How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with 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 complete the paperwork.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems have to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

Exactly 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 rates?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
