At times questions come up regarding undocumented parties to a divorce. So far Georgia family law does not inquire about a parties immigration status. The relevant statute in Georgia only requires that the plaintiff have been a resident of Georgia for at least six months. If the divorce is uncontested, the other party may be in a different state or even abroad. In cases where one of the parties resides in a broad, the parties can still obtain an uncontested divorce in Georgia provided the party living abroad obtains notarized signatures of three documents at a US consulate.
A no contest divorce or an agreed divorce is definitely the fastest and least expensive way of getting a divorce in Georgia. In contrast, a contested divorce, where one party sues the other and has the other party served, costs on average $15,000 in cases without children and $25,000 and up in cases with children. It is not uncommon for legal fees to run $50,000 on up. The reasons for this can be countless. To mention one, if one party is bent on knowing how much money the other party has stashed away in various bank accounts in the US and abroad, not to speak of trusts, the legal fees spent to track down this money is limitless. What usually happens is that the parties run out of money. They sell their home, cash out their 401(k) and all their savings and finally cannot even pay their lawyers, who withdraw from the case leaving their clients to their own devices. This is a harsh reality of litigation.
