For how long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues have to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent 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 under your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce includes issues 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 difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
