The length of time does a common 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, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

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

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Riverdale?

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 filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes problems 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 alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
