How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. 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 settle the documents.

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

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

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

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

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

How come my divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce includes 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 usually not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
