For how long does a normal 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 sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Ringgold?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which 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 divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
