Depending upon how you file, the complexity of your case and the amount of litigation required, formally ending a marriage can take from one month to several years. On average, an uncontested filing in Georgia takes around six months from filing to obtaining the final decree. A contested filing may take over one year to finalize. It’s possible to have it all done in 31 days however; that is a rare occurrence.
In Georgia, although not a good idea, you can file for divorce without hiring a lawyer. Handling your own case is acceptable only in the rare instance where you and your spouse can agree on every aspect of property division, child custody, child support and spousal support (alimony). In the typical divorce case, emotions such as hurt, anger, greed and revenge virtually necessitate the use of divorce lawyers to protect your interests. Hiring a divorce attorney is your assurance of getting a fair and equitable outcome. People handling their own divorce usually make mistakes that haunt them for a long time.

“Clarence Taylor handled my child support/alimony case. His entire office was very professional and courteous during the whole process, and always willing to talk with me when I called or emailed. Clarence was organized, prepared and assertive when he represented me in court. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to handle my case. I would definitely recommend Clarence Taylor!” (Suzanne – Divorce Modification client)
“A seemingly simple uncontested divorce ended up in a court room to be settled. Clarence masterfully handled every facet and negotiated great terms on the Settlement and Parenting Plan. My most important objective was achieved—I, the father, got primary custody of my son! The outcome was as close to ideal as I could reasonably expect.” (Jim – Uncontested Divorce client)

If you are looking for an attorney who knows the law inside-and-out, is 100% committed to your case. and will go above and beyond for you—you’ve found him in Clarence O. Taylor IV. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and every phone call or text will be returned. Thanks for all the good you do, Mr. Taylor.” (Rebekka – Family Law client)
“I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. I knew he would fight for me and my kids, and he gained my complete trust and respect in doing so. Clarence is completely honest and forthcoming, whether you like it or not, and does not hold back on his advice or opinions. In the end, I walked away from my divorce with far more than I expected.” (Name withheld – Contested Divorce client)
