For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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 mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of issues have to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

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 sent 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 consists of problems 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 usually not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
