Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

My attorney is probably going to try to get me divorced by publication, since we cannot locate my spouse. I originally filed June 22, 2011. If we get publication started around September 1, 2011....when will I be divorced? There are no children from the marriage. This is a Fayette County, Georgia case.

You pay your lawyer, who knows all details of the case, to answer your questions about the case.

It seems very strange that you would hire and pay a lawyer to handle your case and answer your questions, and then ask other lawyers if we can guess how fast he will handle it.

There are certain minimum times in such cases that guarantee it will take at least two months after the publication starts, but your answer will depend on whether he plans to set a hearing date or handle the case by motion on pleadings, which judge is assigned, and his own schedule, all things that he knows and obviously no one here does.

Call your lawyer.
