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, however the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required but a variety of issues need to be fixed, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

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

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

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 filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes concerns 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 option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
