For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the paperwork.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of problems have to be resolved, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

If your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps 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 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 includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
