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 required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of issues need to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

If your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated 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 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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify under 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 usually not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
