How long does a normal divorce take?

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

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

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

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complicated 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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my situation doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
