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

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

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 lawfully considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is difficult to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
