How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

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

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

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

What is the difference 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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
