How long does a normal 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 required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

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

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Forsyth County?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes problems 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 usually not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
