The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be settled 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, but the judge is required to wait up until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documentation.

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

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

In case your spouse hesitates to settle in a sensible manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months and even longer to be finalized.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Ringgold?

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 legally considered contested divorces.

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

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be managed quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
