The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

In case your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more intricate 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 Rockdale County?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

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 a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
