The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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

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

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. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

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