How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required 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 needed but a variety of problems have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

What is the distinction 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 filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
