How long does a typical divorce take?

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

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues require to be resolved.

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

In the event that your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and 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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
