How long does a common divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Paulding County?

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.

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

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
