For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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 mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems need to be resolved.

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

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a 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 filed.

How come my situation doesn't qualify under your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of 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 usually not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
