How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however 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 may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems require to be solved.

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Rome?

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.

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

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
