How long does a normal divorce take?

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

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems have to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

On the occasion that your spouse is unwilling to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems 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 a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
