The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify under 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 often not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
