How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait 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 needed however a variety of issues have to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

What is the distinction 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 filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify for your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 often not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
