How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent 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 documentation.

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

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

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes 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 often not an option. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
