Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce in GA is often a great alternative for couples who can communicate well enough to sit down and work out a divorce agreement.
An uncontested divorce is a less expensive alternative to almost any other divorce process, especially a costly and time-consuming litigated divorce. In an uncontested divorce, there is less emotional and physical stress than in a long drawn-out litigated divorce. To have an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse must agree on all the terms of the divorce, such as child support, spousal support or alimony, child custody, child visitation, property division and division of debts.
Uncontested Divorce – Flat Fee
The Remboldt Law Firm charges a flat fee for preparing and filing an uncontested divorce in GA. The flat fee follows, and does NOT include court fees:
- $540 for uncontested divorce with no minor children (plus court filing fees)
- $720 for uncontested divorce with minor children (plus court filing fees)
If you and your spouse have agreed on child support, spousal support or alimony, child custody, child visitation, attorney fees, property division and the division of debts, CJ and the Remboldt Law Firm will gather all your information, create and finalize your uncontested divorce paperwork and file the documents for you in the appropriate Georgia court. In many cases you may not even need to appear in the court.
Because an uncontested divorce is primarily negotiated by you and your spouse, it is important to seek legal advice early in the process so you have an idea as to your rights and obligations before entering into negotiations or mediation.
Even though you and your spouse may never appear in a courtroom during an uncontested divorce, CJ and the Remboldt Law Firm can only represent one of the spouses. For this reason, the Remboldt Law Firm attorney only meets with one party to the divorce and will give complete legal advice to that spouse. Although we may prepare documents for the other spouse to sign as a courtesy, the Remboldt Law Firm advises the other spouse (called the Respondent) to obtain independent legal advice to avoid any potential conflict of interest.
The Remboldt Law Firm does not charge for postage, copies, or any other ancillary costs. In most cases an uncontested divorce can be ready to file with 48 hours of a consultation with a lawyer and receipt of all the needed information.
