The length of time 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 sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

In the event that your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Stockbridge?

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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems 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 alternative. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
