How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually 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 settle the documents.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues need to be solved.

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

If your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and 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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
