How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of issues need to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

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

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. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
