How long does a common divorce take?

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

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

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

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Dekalb County?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes issues 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 often not an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
