The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows 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, however the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of problems need to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Macon?

An uncontested divorce case is one where 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 divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
