How long does a common divorce take?

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

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

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

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Spalding County?

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.

How come my situation doesn't qualify under your flat-fee package?

If your divorce consists of 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 often not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be handled quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
