The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

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

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

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

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

If your divorce consists of concerns 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 most likely not a choice. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
