For how long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait up 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 hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of concerns need to be dealt with.

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

In case your spouse hesitates to settle in an affordable way, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

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

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 filed. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes concerns 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 often not a choice. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
