How long does a common divorce take?

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

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns need to be dealt with.

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

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Smyrna?

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce 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 often not an alternative. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
