How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait 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 problems have to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

If your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Stone Mountain?

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 legally considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not a choice. It is tough to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
