How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the paperwork.

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

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

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a sensible way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

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 legally considered contested divorces.

How come my situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
