For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

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

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

In case your partner hesitates to settle in a sensible way, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Savannah?

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. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
