For how long does a normal divorce take?

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

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

A number of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more complicated 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 Suwanee?

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 submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify for 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 property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
