How long does a normal divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 usually not an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
