How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated 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 problems have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

If your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

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

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 filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
