For how long does a normal divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues need to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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

How come my case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
