How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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 settle the paperwork.

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

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

If your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

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

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 divorce doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
