The length of time does a typical 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 sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns need to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

In the event that your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

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

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 filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes 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 often not a choice. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
