How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of concerns need to be solved, a case might 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 distinction between an uncontested divorce and a 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.

How come my case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
