The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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 complete the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of problems have to be fixed, 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 is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finished.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which 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 divorce 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 dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
