The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent 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 documents.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns need to be dealt with.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and 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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes concerns 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 forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
