The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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 mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not required but a number of concerns need to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

In case your partner hesitates 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 distinction 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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my case 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 division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
