The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with required 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 settle the paperwork.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of problems have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

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

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 situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
