How long does a normal divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of concerns need to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Douglas 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. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 usually not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
