The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 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 settle the documents.

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

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

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent 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 case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee prices?

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 property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
