The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 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 settle the paperwork.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues need to be dealt with.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a 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.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
