How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 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 complete the paperwork.

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

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and a 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.

How come my case doesn't qualify under 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
