How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however 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 final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of concerns need to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

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

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 concerns 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 option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
