How long does a typical divorce take?

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

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns need to be solved.

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

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

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

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my case 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 an alternative. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
