For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

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

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 case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
