For how long does a common divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required 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 resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

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

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 submitted 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 for your flat-fee prices?

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 property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
