The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
