The length of time does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of concerns need to be resolved.

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

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

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Suwanee?

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

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 an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
