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, however the judge is mandated to wait up 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 may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Duluth?

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. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of 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 an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
