The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 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 finalize the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns require to be fixed.

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

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

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 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 issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
