The length of time does a normal divorce take?

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

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a variety of issues have to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

In the event that your partner hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finished.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Suwanee?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which 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 situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of issues 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 usually not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
