How long does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits 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.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of issues need to be fixed.

A variety of cases are solved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

In case your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable way, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be resolved.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Woodstock?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted 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 situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce includes problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be dealt with quickly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
