How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 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 mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of problems need to be dealt with.

A variety of cases are resolved 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 submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

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

If your divorce consists of issues 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 option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
