The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has 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 settle the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are fixed 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 filed.

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

If your divorce includes issues 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 most likely not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
