A no contest divorce in Atlanta without children will cost you $495 plus the filing fee. The filing fee in Cobb County, for example, is $225. Other counties have similar fees. It’s an absolute bargain to have a Georgia licensed attorney prepare and file your documents and represent you. Document preparation companies merely fill out cookie-cutter forms based on information you give them, but do not file the documents, nor do they represent you legally.
There is also the whole question of whether it’s worth your while to wait nearly 2 years for a court hearing when you can have a no contest divorce in as little as five weeks. The Covid 19 pandemic has brought Georgia courts to their knees. For the past year there have been no trials in no hearings except for a few emergency matters that were dealt with via Zoom.
Having an agreed divorce should be music to your ears. It certainly would benefit your children, if you have any, and your own mental state whether you have children or not. Although it may not seem so at the time it will make your life easier if you can put your marriage behind you without rancor and on your own terms. Yes, your own terms. No one has to know your business, why you didn’t get along with your spouse or what if anything went wrong. It’s something that stays with you and fades with time. An agreed divorce in Atlanta is a good example of dealing with a life event in the least harmful way possible.
A no contest divorce in Atlanta is similarly an inexpensive, effective way of dealing with divorce. It costs a fraction of what a litigated divorce costs, and you can obtain a no contest divorce in Atlanta in as little as five weeks.
