For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of concerns require to be fixed.

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

If your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

Exactly 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 sent 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 case 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 most likely not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
