How long does a common divorce take?

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

If a final 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 fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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

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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems 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 tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
