How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. 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 documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of concerns have to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my situation doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
