Georgia Uncontested Divorce 

$325 -- Without children
$500 -- With minor children


The decision to end a marriage is difficult. Some describe divorce as the most painful experience of their lives. Unfortunately, what is a life-altering event in the best of circumstances can turn into a nightmare, especially if the parties are goaded into mindless hostility early on. Our philosophy is to try to resolve cases in an amicable and collaborative fashion whenever possible, especially if children are involved, because you and your spouse will likely have a lifetime of joint parenting interactions, and there is no point in making things worse for lack of experience. 

In many cases there is no need to rush to file a divorce. If the parties are on speaking terms and agree that divorce is the best decision, they should try to reach an agreement on their own, at least on the major points, such as custody of the children, and division of property and debts. Ask for a sample pleliminary settlement agreement to see what reaching a settlement involves. 

An uncontested divorce is the fastest, least expensive and least stressful way to obtain a divorce. Disagreements are resolved before any papers are filed with the court. This dramatically lowers your costs and keeps much of your personal information out of the public record.


Is an Uncontested Divorce Right for you?

For an uncontested divorce you and your spouse must agree on all relevant issues before any papers are filed with the court. We use a two-step process. First we ask you to fill out a preliminary agreement to determine whether you are in agreement on all main points, then we prepare the final documents for signature and notary stamps. The issues settled in the agreement include:

  • Division of property 
  • Division of Debt 
  • Child custody and visitation (including a detailed parenting plan where required) 
  • Spousal support and child support

We handle your uncontested divorce from start to finish. We prepare all the required documents and file them with the court; then we schedule a final hearing if needed and represent you at the final hearing; finally we accompany you to the Clerk's Office to obtain a certified copy of the divorce decree. 

FEES:

Our fees are the lowest you will find for the work we do. Your documents are prepared by a licensed Georgia attorney. We do the filing in the clerk's office, represent you at the final hearing, and obtain certified copies of the divorce decree. In other words, we take care of everything for you. We do not charge for postage, copies or paralegal fees. Our flat fees cover the entire cost for your uncontested divorce, except for the filing fee and the parenting class if you have children.
