For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 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 documents.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems require to be dealt with.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify for 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 division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
