How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. 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 finalize the documentation.

If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of issues have to be dealt with, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

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

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

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 items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an alternative. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
