For how long does a normal divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of problems have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Lithonia?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted 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 case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes problems 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 difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
