Plain-language answers
It varies with the issues and the DeKalb County court schedule. Unresolved custody, support, property, or alimony questions generally make a case take longer than an uncontested divorce, and Georgia’s required waiting period still applies.
If anyone is injured, get medical attention and report the crash first. A conversation with counsel can help you preserve records and understand communications with insurers, especially when fault or the extent of the injury is not clear.
Not by itself. A trust can help avoid probate for assets placed into it, but beneficiary designations, a will, powers of attorney, and other documents may also matter.
