The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

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

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

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Fulton 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 situation doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

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 an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
