The length of time does a typical divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of issues need to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

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

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Gwinnett County?

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. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes problems 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 hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
