The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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 settle the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of issues have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a 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.

How come my situation doesn't qualify for 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 hard to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
