For how long does a typical divorce take?

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

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

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the difference 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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
