For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

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

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

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Gainesville?

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.

How come my divorce 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 dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
