The length of time 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 sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of problems have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable 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 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 rates?

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 items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
