How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

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

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

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted 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 situation doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

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