The length of time does a normal 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, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of concerns need to be dealt with, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complex 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 Paulding County?

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 filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
