For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

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 issues need to be dealt with.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

If your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Fayette 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. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
