The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted 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.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns have to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

If your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

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 sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce includes problems 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 hard to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
