How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a variety of problems have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

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 filed.

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

If your divorce includes problems 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 often not an alternative. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
