Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

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

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
