How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of problems need to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Newnan?

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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
