For how long does a normal divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

On the occasion that your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Mableton?

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of issues 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 most likely not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
