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 documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait 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 needed however a variety of problems have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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 case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce includes 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 usually not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
