For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complicated 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 Lithonia?

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes 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 most likely not an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
