How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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 required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues have to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In case your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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

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. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

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