The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. 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 complete the paperwork.

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

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

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

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 submitted.

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

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 usually not an option. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
