The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up until 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 issues have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which 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 situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
