How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. 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 settle the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of concerns have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other formal settlements.

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be resolved.

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

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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes concerns 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 most likely not a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
