For 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 sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

Exactly 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 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 prices?

If your divorce includes problems 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 often not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
