How long does a common divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

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

How come my case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
