How long does a typical 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 mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns need to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Marietta?

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 case doesn't qualify for 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
