How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 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 paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Forest Park?

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 situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 most likely not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
