A no contest or agreed to divorce are both different ways of saying uncontested divorce. They mean that the parties to a divorce are in agreement on all issues and want a divorce as soon as possible and that a low cost. Being an agreement on all issues means that both parties will sign and notarize all the documents necessary to file an uncontested divorce, including the petition, acknowledgment of service, consent to try, and the settlement agreement. In roughly 70% of cases one of the parties will initially refused to sign and notarize any paperwork. In this case the petitioner has a choice of being patient and giving the other party time to come around to signing the paperwork or, if this is unlikely, the other choice is to go ahead with a contested divorce. A contested divorce doesn’t make much sense if the parties have no assets and no children. More often than not the party refusing to sign the documents simply does not want a divorce or wants to be difficult. These cases are unlikely to go to trial and therefore wind up costing the parties thousands of dollars and time for no good reason.

The term “agreed divorce” is self-explanatory. The parties agree to divorce and do everything necessary to obtain a divorce as quickly as possible and at a low price. The Hughes Law office offers just such a service. Our agreed divorces cost $495 in cases without children and $995 in cases with children, excluding the filing fee. Divorces can be obtained in as little as five weeks from the date of filing. These are absolutely bargain fees for professional services. A Georgia licensed attorney prepares and files all the documents necessary for an uncontested divorce, and after 31 days, which is the statutory waiting period in Georgia, the attorney will file a motion for judgment on the pleadings so that no court appearance will be necessary. In effect, the divorce is obtained online with the help of an attorney.

The Hughes Law office is pleased to offer its clients no contest and agreed divorces at the lowest possible cost and in record time. See our stellar reviews on Avvo and Google. Please call us for a free consultation at 770-933-0780.
