How long does a typical divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Jonesboro?

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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes issues 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 a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
