For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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, but the judge is required to wait up 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 however a variety of problems need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

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 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 case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of 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 a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
