How long does a normal divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of problems need to be solved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

Exactly 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 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 divorce doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

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 a choice. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
