The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent 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 documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of issues require to be solved.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other formal negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted 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 divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee rates?

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 managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
