How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 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 until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of concerns have to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

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

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

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes concerns 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 an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
