The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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 finalize the paperwork.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Forsyth 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.

How come my case doesn't qualify for 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 dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
