How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

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

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

On the occasion that your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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

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 includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
